Spotlight :
Sequence of hurdles wins is stacking up; proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fourth win); successful for the third time in his career when last seen; cannot be ignored.

Spotlight :
Admirable career strike-rate (five from 23 to date); far from disgraced (beaten 8l) three weeks ago; if he can build on his latest effort then looks a big player.

Hurdles record stands at 2-8; failed to land a blow when third of five on New Year's Day at Cagnes-sur-Mer in a conditions chase; this his second spin over fences; deserves respect.

Has chalked up two wins from his last four; could not manage better than ninth 21 days ago when back to this distance, behind Fidele Au Poste; others appeal more.

Solid run when third at 25-1 (Compiegne) 19 days ago in a conditions chase; should go well.

Spotlight :
Behind In Memoria over 2m4�f at Compiegne (conditions chase) when beaten 27l 19 days ago; has failed to finish twice in her last three races and losing run stretches to 19; she is the only female runner; a lot on her plate here and easy to oppose.

Spotlight :
Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fifth career win); ran encouragingly when 9l third at Fontainebleau over 2m3f (handicap chase) four weeks ago; should not be far away.
