Spotlight: Narrow winner of a conditions race at Cholet two months ago; seeking a hat-trick today and from powerful trainer; has to be taken seriously.

Spotlight: Finished behind Xilofono over 1m3½f at Angers (handicap) when beaten 6l (11th of 16) last month; runs off a lower mark so should be thereabouts.

Spotlight: Respectable effort (beaten 1½l) at Angers over 1m3½f (handicap) from a disadvantageous draw last month; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then must be respected.

Spotlight: Finished seventh but only beaten just over 2l at Chantilly two months ago; enters calculations as has been given a chance by the handicapper and his recent effort was encouraging.

Spotlight: Hasn't been able to quite get his neck in front; not disgraced when seventh at Lyon-Parilly over 1m4f (handicap, very soft) three months ago; now tackles shorter distance; C Soumillon a good booking.

Spotlight: Narrow scorer in a handicap (draw was no help, La Teste De Buch) last month; proving a little expensive to follow; taken a rise in the weights; covers an extra 2f here.

Spotlight: Still winless and defeats stacking up (75 on the bounce) and wins have come at a lower level; beaten 6l (eighth, Lyon-Parilly) last month; others more persuasive as this could be a hot race.

Spotlight: Narrow success in a handicap (Pont De Vivaux) five weeks ago; continued his winning streak when last seen; clear chance.

Spotlight: Solid effort when beaten just over 1l to finish fourth at Chantilly over 1m1½f (handicap) finished just ahead of Geopolitical three months ago.

Spotlight: Won a handicap by 1½l (Bordeaux-Le Bouscat) in May; winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 54 and wins achieved at a lower level; may have to settle for supporting role with a higher mark to contend with.

Spotlight: Towards the rear of 15 over 1m1½f at Deauville (handicap) three weeks ago; one to be interested in.

Spotlight: Had two of these in arrears scoring narrowly at La Teste De Buch in April; has gained all his wins at a lower level and still winless and defeats stacking up (25 on the bounce); handicapper increases the burden so others more likely.

Spotlight: Managed two wins in his last four outings; finished ninth but wasn't beaten too far (3½l) over 1m at Saint-Cloud (handicap) 21 days ago; covers an extra 2f here.

Spotlight: Went down by just under 3l when third at La Teste De Buch last month in a claimer; winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 25 and all his victories have been gained at a lower level.

Spotlight: Has never won a race of this value and still winless and defeats stacking up (20 on the bounce); fair effort (beaten just over 1l) over 1m3½f at Dax (handicap) last week; tends to find at least one too good; hard to recommend.
