Spotlight :
A winning hurdler (one from six); not disgraced when ninth in a handicap chase (Compiegne) last month; more than capable if on song so is capable of making an impact.

Spotlight :
Solid run when fifth at Nancy over 2m5f (handicap chase) last month; an infrequent winner; has to be respected given there is limited recent form on offer in this race and his recent effort was encouraging.

Spotlight :
Modest record of 3-35 over hurdles and has not always proven the most reliable in recent hurdles starts; wasn't disgraced when runner-up of 12 at Clairefontaine in 2023 in a Listed handicap chase; is passed over on this chase return.

Spotlight :
Last, beaten 7l, in a maiden at Le Mans last time; hurdles winner although not added to that on the Flat; behind Jump des Mottes in a conditions chase when fourth of six in August; back over fences; he's an attractive contender if replicating best previous efforts.

Good strike-rate over hurdles; out of the frame when fourth at Chepstow (good) in October in a Listed chase; finished fourth latest; second time out over fences today; if replicating best previous efforts warrants respect.
