Spotlight :
Not beaten that far in fourth (14l) over 2m4f at Cagnes-sur-Mer (handicap hurdle) in January; returns from a break today; has to be taken seriously as he is open to improvement in this discipline and has shown some ability on occasion.

Spotlight :
Successful by 6l over 2m2f at Auteuil (handicap hurdle) when accounting for two of these two weeks ago; may be capable of overcoming hike in the ratings so needs to be respected.

Spotlight :
A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 4-18 but has failed to finish in four of his last five races; finished behind Keep Star when ninth of 12 42 days ago in a claiming hurdle; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.
