Spotlight :
Got home in front by 2l at Strasbourg 53 days ago; definite chance as may still be a step ahead of the handicapper despite ratings hike.

Was fourth over fences latest; not disgraced in fourth in a conditions hurdle (Fontainebleau, close behind Koniac Wood) in February; is three from 18 in his career; now back over hurdles; could figure.

Spotlight :
Ran well when beaten 2½l running for the second time for this trainer at Dieppe 13 days ago in a conditions hurdle; without a win after ten attempts; latest effort was encouraging so she needs to be taken seriously.

Winless after ten races; comfortably beaten into fourth at Nantes five weeks ago in a conditions hurdle; definitely of interest.

Spotlight :
Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Cagnes-sur-Mer (beaten 14l) over 2m4f (handicap hurdle) in January; returns from a break here; should be in the mix as there is room to improve in this code and has shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

Pulled up when unfancied at Pau three months ago; a previous winner here; this looks a decent race so passed over.

Had two of these in arrears over 2m2f at Auteuil (handicap hurdle) when successful by 6l last month; is respected as may well be able to cope with hefty hike in the weights.

Spotlight :
Pulled up when unfancied at Auteuil over 2m3½f (handicap hurdle, dropped a few pounds since) 45 days ago; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

Tenth of 12 in a conditions hurdle at Strasbourg 25 days ago; this looks a decent race so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Spotlight :
Losing run stretches to 12; on the premises when third of 12 at Auteuil over 2m2f (handicap hurdle) 11 days ago; competing off a higher mark; warrants respect if confirming promise shown last time.

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Auteuil (beaten 13l) in a claiming hurdle four weeks ago; shown he can win fairly recently and has to be considered.

Spotlight :
Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-18) but has failed to finish four times in his last five races; ninth of 12 behind Keep Star, last month in a claiming hurdle; meeting some horses in good form and has questions to answer.

Spotlight :
Pulled up when unfancied at Auteuil over 2m2f (handicap hurdle) two weeks ago, handicapper dropped him a few pounds; gone 18 races without a win and needs to improve on balance of recent form; a lot on his plate here and can't go on the shortlist.

Not beaten too far when fifth of 12 (Strasbourg) three weeks ago; although without a win, he has shown signs of ability; this looks a decent race so others make more appeal.
