Spotlight: Found life tough when 5½l back in seventh last December upped to 1m4f; winning form over C&D; returns from a layoff; done no favours with the draw and not easy to fancy.

Spotlight: Brings plenty of winning course form to the table; fair third of 14 over 1m4f at Nantes (handicap) last week; likely to be thereabouts off the same rating as for a previous success.

Spotlight: All wins have come going left handed; has won previously at this course; finished tailed off at Chateaubriant over 1m5f (handicap) in August; fourth latest; definite chance if bringing his peak form to the table and has shown some ability on occasion.

Spotlight: Close up behind Proxima Centauri when fifth at Chantilly over 1m1½f (handicap) two weeks ago; is not ruled out if building on most recent effort.

Spotlight: Achieved only a sole win but consistent performer; ran a good race in defeat when a close second over 1m1½f at Chantilly (handicap) 12 days ago; he's an attractive contender with so many of these having something to prove and his last run was encouraging.

Spotlight: Finished towards the rear of 14 last December (dropped back to this trip) behind Drip, (now lower in the weights); managed two wins in his last five outings; looking for a third career win; returns from a break here; stable has been going through a quiet spell; others have more pressing claims.

Spotlight: Beaten 7l in tenth at Argentan last month; largely not been running well and managed just one success in his career to date; others more appealing.

Spotlight: Brings winning C&D form to the table; hasn't really fired since his success in a handicap at Le Lion d'Angers in April; beaten seventh of 13 over 1m5f at Fontainebleau (handicap) last month; others are preferred as now looks to be past his prime.

Spotlight: Could not manage better than seventh over 1m4f at Lignieres (handicap, very soft) 21 days ago; looks likely to be involved if reproducing her best back form and she has been dropped in the weights.

Spotlight: Not been able to make much of an impact in handicaps recently; finished out the back at Nantes over 1m (handicap, dropped a few pounds since) three weeks ago; others more appealing.

Spotlight: Generally modest form since handicap success at Compiegne in March; was tailed off over 1m1½f at Deauville (handicap) two weeks ago; others more persuasive.

Spotlight: Not disgraced when fourth at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 1m1½f (handicap) last month; not many of these impressed last time out so should have every chance.

Spotlight: Seeking her ninth career success; not far behind Proxima Centauri when eighth (very soft) at Angers three weeks ago; sixth latest; passed over.

Spotlight: Held when ninth beaten just over 5l at Deauville over 1m1½f (handicap) in July; 12th latest; a winner over this C&D; makes limited appeal.

Spotlight: Course specialist who has won three times here; finished tailed off last Wednesday at Nantes upped to 1m4f; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.
