Spotlight :

Fair effort when beaten 5l (very heavy, Bordeaux-Le Bouscat) five months ago in a claiming chase; failed to complete last time; looks for his third career victory; working on the premise he jumps better this time; has a chance.

Spotlight :
Came home 11th, beaten 22l, over 2m3½f at Compiegne (handicap chase) 28 days ago; should go close as a number of his rivals have questions to answer and he has been dropped in the weights.

Finished second in a conditions hurdle at Fontainebleau latest; sole victory becoming a distant memory; not disgraced in fourth in 2023 in a conditions chase; back over fences; not many of these impressed last time out so should give it a bold bid.
