REIZVOLL (6) safely held two back but turned form around last time with a fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at Kyoto. Nice return at second jumps start. Ready for sharp improvement. NAVARATNA (7) returns from a break under the care of a new trainer and making jumps debut. Hasn't raced since finishing tenth (2400m) at Tokyo. Sure to be well-schooled and is going to be competitive. TOA MARISHITEN (11) returns after three months in the paddock. Kicked off the last prep with a solid third in a 3000m maiden steeplechase at Tokyo, beaten 1.2 lengths. Has the ability to pose a serious challenge. VOLL GEIL (13) remains a maiden after 20 runs but last time ran a better race, finishing fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at this track. Had plenty of chances but is not to be underestimated on best figures.
