Spotlight :
Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fifth win); did well from an unfavourable starting berth (Fontainebleau, very soft) with Celtic Aryaan just behind when on the premises, finishing third at 10-1 two weeks ago; must be high on list.

Spotlight :
Was tailed off over 1m2f at ParisLongchamp (handicap, behind Hartwood Man) three weeks ago; generally been out of sorts of late; facing a testing assignment and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Spotlight :
Has scored over C&D; grade looks suitable; not disgraced in seventh over 1m2f at ParisLongchamp (handicap) three weeks ago; must go on the shortlist if finding his best form and he is running off a lower mark.

Spotlight :
Comfortably beaten finishing 11th at Chantilly over 1m1½f (handicap) last month; brings winning C&D form to the table; useful in this grade; assessor cut him some slack and definite chance.

Spotlight :
Still winless and defeats stacking up (11 on the bounce) and not made much of an impact recently in handicaps; last of seven in January at Deauville in a conditions race; a few rivals look in good form so others more appealing.

Spotlight :
Ran well enough to finish third at 28-1 in a claimer (Compiegne) when dropped in distance last month; all his wins been on ground with plenty of give; not won for some time now.

Spotlight :
Not disgraced when ninth of 16 (close behind Shark Samurai, very soft) at Fontainebleau two weeks ago; warrants respect as has been given a chance by the handicapper and shown he can get his head in front.

Ran well when beaten half a length at Chantilly last month; others appeal more as now looks to be past his prime.

|
Spotlight :
Has won at this track; close up behind Celtic Aryaan when seventh at Nantes (very soft) six weeks ago; looks likely to go well as now running off a lower mark and his last run was encouraging.

Finished ninth of 12 at Senonnes-Pouance over 1m2½f (handicap, dropped a few pounds since) last month; not been able to make much of an impact in handicaps recently; facing a testing assignment and hard to recommend.

Spotlight :
Fair effort (beaten 2½l, was done no favours by the draw, very soft) at ParisLongchamp last month; not been able to get his head in front lately so others more persuasive.

Spotlight :
Finished towards the rear of 15 at ParisLongchamp (very soft) last month; easy to see him making an impression off the same rating as for a previous success and he has shown signs of promise in the past.

Spotlight :
Has won at this course; been generally quiet since successful in a handicap at Clairefontaine last June; behind Hartwood Man when towards the rear three months ago at Chantilly over 1m1½f (handicap); meeting some horses in good form and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

|
Spotlight :
Scored narrowly in a handicap at Pont De Vivaux last month; seeking a hat-trick today; the stable has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; one to consider as may still be a step ahead of the handicapper despite ratings hike.

|
Spotlight :
All three career wins over this trip and better than this level in his prime; favourite and only narrowly beaten last month (very soft) with three of these in behind at ParisLongchamp on his second outing for this trainer; Alexis Pouchin a notable jockey booking; plenty of appeal.
