Spotlight: No wins in 15 hurdles starts; finished eighth in the Grand Steep upped to 3m6f in May; has chalked up four wins from his last seven; back from an absence here; may be involved with drop in class a positive and there is room to improve in this code.

Spotlight: On a hat-trick; gained narrow success in a conditions chase 24 days ago when he got the better of Kalibre and several of these; has to be considered as there could be more to come in this code.

Spotlight: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 9l) in April in a Grade 2 chase; now back over fences; in the mix as has knocked on the door a number of times recently.

Spotlight: Favourite and not beaten far at Craon over 2m5f (conditions chase) last month; yet to win, defeats are stacking up and has done all his winning at a lower level; hasn't shown much over fences and only limited appeal.

Spotlight: Has hit the crossbar on multiple occasions but remains without a win; held when ninth of ten at Compiegne (behind Illaho) four weeks ago in a Listed chase; this might be easier; up in distance by an extra 4½f here.

Spotlight: Scored by 1½l in a Listed handicap hurdle at Auteuil last time; impressive record of four wins from 14 runs here; got the job done in a Listed handicap chase by 1½l last March; returns from a break here; back over fences; should go well.

Spotlight: Third latest in a Compiegne conditions hurdle; managed two wins in his last four outings; finished behind Illaho over 2m6f here (handicap chase) in February; now back over fences.

Spotlight: Held here 24 days ago by Pascard de Beausse when beaten 29l (tenth of 15) over 2m6f (conditions chase); he's an attractive contender.

Spotlight: Not disgraced when fifth of nine over 2m1½f here (conditions chase) last month; tried over an additional 6f now.

Spotlight: Was behind Pascard de Beausse here last month when not disgraced over 2m6f (conditions chase); fourth latest.

Spotlight: Came home sixth three weeks ago in race won by Pascard de Beausse over 2m6f (conditions chase) when not beaten that far; meeting some horses in good form and makes little appeal.

Spotlight: In a at last time; not fancied when unseating rider over 2m6f here (conditions chase) three weeks ago; back over fences.

Spotlight: Pulled up when unfancied five months ago in a Listed handicap chase; now back over fences.

Spotlight: Produced a string of consistent efforts; 1½l third to Pascard de Beausse over 2m6f here (conditions chase) three weeks ago; warrants consideration.

Spotlight: Behind Pascard de Beausse over 2m6f here (conditions chase) when going down narrowly last month; knocking at the door recently; winless after 25 races; chase record doesn't inspire confidence so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Spotlight: Behind Pascard de Beausse when fifth 24 days ago over 2m6f (conditions chase); proving a little expensive to follow.
