Spotlight :
Versatile hard-knocker with references on both surfaces, though his 5 career wins did come on turf. Shouldnt be hastily condemned for finishing 13th in a similar course-and-distance event on 4 January - has a place chance

Won a 1600m PSF handicap at Chantilly last month and was continually held up when finishing unplaced (11th) in the benchmark event on 4 January. Finished with obvious resources that day so deserves another chance

Hard-knocking veteran handicapper with sound references on this surface, including a course-and-distance win on 20 November. Unplaced (13th) in a 2000m PSF handicap at Pau on 17 January but this shorter trip will suit

Consistent hard-knocker with sound references in turf handicaps, including a commendable 5th of 17 when last seen over 1600m at Clairefontaine on 5 July. Unplaced in both PSF appearances so best watched on his return
