Spotlight: Came out on top by just under 2l over 7f at Chantilly (handicap) last month; has chalked up two wins from his last three; boasts winning form over C&D; may be capable of overcoming hike in the ratings so cannot be ignored.

Spotlight: Respectable fourth last month; subpar record of 1-14; passed over as this is competitive.

Spotlight: Beaten narrowly when in front of three of these three weeks ago; regularly been coming up a bit short lately so there are better alternatives here.

Spotlight: Recent runs have been consistent; has chalked up two wins from his last six; turned in a solid effort in defeat four weeks ago, when runner-up at Fontainebleau in a conditions race.

Spotlight: Just over 5l third over 7f at Chantilly (handicap) last month.

Spotlight: Close up third over 1m at Saint-Cloud (handicap, heavy, dropped a few pounds since) 28 days ago; can boast winning form over this C&D; recent effort was creditable so could be of some interest.

Spotlight: Towards the rear of 16 when favourite over 6f at Toulouse (handicap) last month; enters calculations despite defeat last time as finished second two runs back and he is running off a lower mark.

Spotlight: A winner over C&D; is two from seven; respectable sixth last month; has to be feared if able to find the same level as when recording last success and the handicapper has given him a chance.

Spotlight: Behind three of these when beaten 7l last month; this looks a decent race so very difficult to fancy.

Spotlight: Has won here previously; seventh of ten beaten 6l at Chantilly three months ago in a conditions race; eighth latest; others appeal more.

Spotlight: Respectable effort (Pont De Vivaux) last month in a claimer; achieved all wins going right handed; has won over C&D; a lot on his plate here and he can be taken on.

Spotlight: Finished 11th, beaten 7l, last month; has won previously at this course; likely to go well if duplicating the form of his most recent win and he's been given a chance by the handicapper.

Spotlight: Ninth of ten beaten 13l in a conditions race last month; has achieved seven wins from 18 career runs; meeting some horses in good form and looks risky.

Spotlight: Finished seventh, beaten 8l, over 7f at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat (conditions race, heavy) two months ago; boasts winning form over C&D; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in April); opposable with several rivals in good nick.

Spotlight: Got home in front by a head over 6f at Chantilly (handicap) beating Alparslan and Major Oak in October; others more likely now operating off an increased mark.

Spotlight: Held in tenth at Haydock over 7f (handicap) in July, handicap mark eased since; successful once in six career outings; starts out for new trainer; returns from a layoff; others more persuasive with this looking like a hot contest.
