Spotlight: Narrow scorer in a handicap hurdle at Strasbourg 53 days ago; big hike in the weights looks justified so looks a contender.

Spotlight: Beaten 42l into seventh over 2m7½f at Sandown (Grade 3 handicap hurdle) in January; sixth latest; largely been out of sorts; has won four times in his career; British raider.

Spotlight: Was fourth over fences latest; searching for his fourth career win; behind Koniac Wood at Fontainebleau in February when fourth of eight in a conditions hurdle; back over hurdles; ought to be competitive if able to run to the same level as his last win.

Spotlight: Beaten narrowly in a conditions hurdle at Dieppe two weeks ago on her second outing for this trainer; yet to win, defeats are stacking up; much respected if building on last performance.

Spotlight: Still without a win after ten starts; held in fourth at Nantes 35 days ago in a conditions hurdle; likely to be involved.

Spotlight: Not beaten too far when fourth of 11 over 2m4f at Cagnes-sur-Mer (handicap hurdle) in January; returns from a layoff; can be in the thick of things as he is open to improvement in this sphere and has shown some ability on occasion.

Spotlight: Pulled up when unfancied at Pau three months ago; a previous winner here; is passed over as this looks a fair heat.

Spotlight: Won by 6l at Auteuil over 2m2f (handicap hurdle) when Mazarin du Berlais and Vinyann St Laurent were behind him last month; has to be respected as steep rise in the ratings looks justified.

Spotlight: Pulled up when unfancied over 2m3½f at Auteuil (handicap hurdle) off higher mark 45 days ago; a lot on her plate here and looks an unlikely winner.

Spotlight: Finished tenth of 12 in a conditions hurdle at Strasbourg last month; makes limited appeal as this looks a fair heat.

Spotlight: Seeking his third career success; held when eighth of 18 over 2m2f at Auteuil (handicap hurdle) last month.

Spotlight: On the premises when third of 12 over 2m2f at Auteuil (handicap hurdle) 11 days ago; yet to get his head in front after 12 starts; competing off a higher mark; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then has to be considered.

Spotlight: Not beaten too far when 11th at Auteuil in a claiming hurdle 29 days ago; shown he can get his head in front so wouldn't rule out a big run.

Spotlight: Admirable career strike-rate (four from 18 to date) but has failed to finish in four of his last five races; behind Keep Star in a claiming hurdle when finishing ninth of 12 last month; facing a testing assignment and unlikely to trouble the principals.

Spotlight: 19th attempt to break his duck and recent form is unremarkable; pulled up when unfancied over 2m2f at Auteuil (handicap hurdle) off higher mark two weeks ago; little chance as has a lot on his plate here.

Spotlight: Not disgraced when fifth (Strasbourg) last month; shown enough to suggest he could get his nose in front one day; others more likely as running in what looks to be a hot race.
