Spotlight: A chase winner; near miss when second favourite at Moulins last September in a conditions hurdle; now back over hurdles; starts out for new trainer; needs considering.

Spotlight: Won by 8l in a handicap hurdle when opening her account at the fifth time of asking at Craon last month; has to be feared as the trainer can ready one for this type of race.

Spotlight: Beaten into runner-up when 5-2 (Strasbourg) last month with two of these rivals behind; chance as from a stable often strong in these races.

Spotlight: Pulled up when unfancied in December (Cagnes-sur-Mer) in a conditions hurdle; easy enough to take on.

Spotlight: Ahead of Raffles Cipriani and Well Destiny when fourth (beaten 9l, 16-1) two weeks ago over C&D; should be thereabouts if building on initial performance and horses from these quarters merit close inspection in this type of contest.

Spotlight: Decent chaser but Pulled up in a Listed chase at Auteuil last time; finished eighth but wasn't beaten too far (13l) at Fontainebleau last March in a newcomers' hurdle; now returns to this sphere and not one to rely on.

Spotlight: A winning Flat performer (two from 11); seventh of 16 beaten 34l in a newcomers' hurdle (Auteuil) 37 days ago with two of these rivals behind; in the mix last time (finished runner-up); others have more pressing claims.

Spotlight: Could not manage better than sixth when splitting two of these rivals 18 days ago; stable know the time of day in this type of race and is of interest.

Spotlight: Failed to make much of an impression in five Flat outings; recent form is unremarkable; pulled up when unfancied at Fontainebleau 16 days ago; has an in-form jockey on board; not hard to look beyond him.

Spotlight: Was held in seventh two weeks ago; although a maiden, he has shown ability; passed over.

Spotlight: Scored by just over 1l in a maiden at Amiens last time; second hurdles run here; the record of the trainer in this kind of race offers encouragement so he should go close.

Spotlight: Couldn't land a blow when fifth of eight at Fontainebleau two weeks ago; makes limited appeal.

Spotlight: Detectable promise, knocking on the door on occasions but recent form hardly the most inspiring; a faller when unfancied at Strasbourg 36 days ago; others more persuasive as running in what looks to be a hot race.

Spotlight: Finished seventh in a handicap at Saint-Cloud latest; although a maiden, he has made an impact on a few occasions but form has an up and down look to it; unproven over hurdles and has questions to answer.

Spotlight: Finished towards the rear of 13 at Auteuil last September in a claiming hurdle; best she's managed so far is fifth from six career starts; makes debut for trainer; long absence to overcome; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.
