Spotlight :
Record over this course and distance is three wins from 17 runs but generally modest form since handicap success at Deauville last April; came home 11th, beaten 8l, at Chantilly over 1m2f (handicap) dropped back in distance behind Fitzcarraldo, last month; this line-up contains some strong opposition so unlikely to trouble the principals.

Spotlight :
11th of 12 dropped back in distance on debut for this trainer over Christmas in a conditions race; others are preferred as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

Spotlight :
Improved showing when going down narrowly 37 days ago upped to this distance; has shown some recent improvement and seems to be going the right way; previously trained by CARLOS Laffon-Parias; she can make a bold bid as hails from a trainer that tends to do well with this type and her latest run was promising.

Spotlight :
Has chalked up two wins from his last four; gained narrow success in a handicap (Chantilly) when accounting for two of these two weeks ago; competing off a higher mark; warrants plenty of respect.

Spotlight :
All wins on right-handed tracks; no reward for a string of creditable efforts of late; behind Antrim (Chantilly) when only just held two weeks ago; assuming he steps up from most recent effort then capable of going well.

Fair effort when beaten 3l, finishing fourth of 12 18 days ago at Lyon La Soie upped to 1m2f; has a record of 1-28; can be on the premises if he is able to replicate his best form.

Gave good account to finish runner-up with three of these rivals behind him over Christmas; can boast winning form over this C&D.

Spotlight :
This C&D holds no fears; consistent lately; not disgraced when fourth (Chantilly) upped to this distance over Christmas; should not be far away as shown he can get his head in front.

Spotlight :
Failed to make much of an impact in handicaps recently and slumped a bit since winning a claimer at Compiegne four months ago; fair effort when beaten 4l, finishing fifth of 12 in a claimer four weeks ago; this looks a fair heat so easy to oppose.

Spotlight :
Missed out by a short head upped to 1m4f three weeks ago in a conditions race; possesses winning form at this track; has maintained his consistent level of form; a likely player off the same rating as for a previous success and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Brings winning C&D form to the table; was 11th of 16, beaten 7l, at Chantilly over Christmas; this line-up contains some strong opposition so hard enough to fancy.

Fair effort (beaten 3l) at Chantilly two weeks ago, behind the reopposing Antrim; consistent lately; a winner over C&D; a lot on his plate here and has some questions to answer.

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just over 3l) over Christmas; been a while since he achieved his only career win; this looks a big ask as no longer in his pomp.
