Spotlight :
Scored by 1½l with four of these in behind last month, getting off the mark at the seventh attempt; big hike in the weights looks justified so likely to give a strong account.

Spotlight :
Ran encouragingly when just under 2l second over 6½f at Cagnes-sur-Mer (handicap) with Trevi just behind last month; improved form the last twice and shown enough to think she could win a race; this only her second start in handicap company; a likely player as hails from a stable that tends to do well with this type and there was plenty to like about her latest performance.

Held here three weeks ago by Mellow Yellow when dropped in distance; improved form the last twice; one to consider if excused most recent run as achieved maiden success two runs back and shown he can win fairly recently.

Towards the rear of 15 in a maiden (Deauville) two months ago; this just her fourth race; from a stable that commands respect so has to be taken seriously.

Opened account at the seventh attempt scoring narrowly (Pau) last month on debut outing for new trainer in a maiden; has found improvement of late; definite chance.

Spotlight :
Beaten 12l in 11th over 6½f at Deauville (handicap) 45 days ago; he has shown ability despite no wins on the CV but still winless and defeats stacking up (eight on the bounce); meeting some horses in good form and he can be taken on.

Spotlight :
Detectable promise, knocking on the door on occasions; creditable fifth, beaten 2l, of 16 when behind the reopposing Mellow Yellow last month; latest effort was encouraging so has claims.

Has won at this track; successful twice in her last five starts; safely held here last month behind Mellow Yellow when finishing towards the rear of 16; she should go close.

Spotlight :
No threat to winner, Mellow Yellow, here last month (finished 12th) when dropped down to this distance; yet to open her account after 17 starts; unlikely to pose a threat as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

Spotlight :
Posted respectable effort when beaten just over 2l at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 6½f (handicap, just behind Txirimiri) last month; successful once in 13 career outings; passed over as running in what looks to be a hot race.

Spotlight :
Beaten 1½l two months ago when sent off 33-1 at Deauville in a maiden; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 11; makes limited appeal as this is a fairly competitive event.

Creditable effort to finish third here over 1m (handicap) when ahead of several of these rivals over Christmas; ought to give it a shot if backing up last run.

Spotlight :
Just her fourth outing so still early days; unable to land a blow when eighth of ten in a maiden 13 days ago upped to 1m; still has lots to prove based on what she's shown so far so difficult to fancy.

Spotlight :
Unable to land a blow in sixth (very soft, Cagnes-sur-Mer) last month in a maiden; generally struggled of late and winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at ten; makes the trip from France for this contest; this looks a decent race so others appeal more.

Recent form is unremarkable; last of ten over 1m1½f at Deauville (handicap) 52 days ago (eased in the weights since); not an obvious one as this could be a hot race.
