Spotlight :
Admirable career strike-rate (eight from 36 to date); far from disgraced (beaten 8l) at Auteuil over 2m2½f (handicap chase) 962 days ago; has a long absence to overcome; he's an attractive contender.

Spotlight :
Record over hurdles is a modest 3-36; an infrequent winner and needs to improve on balance of recent form; not beaten too far when seventh here in a conditions chase two weeks ago; must be respected as shown he can be competitive fairly recently and there is room to improve in this code.

Spotlight :
Has won twice in his career; fair effort at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat (very heavy) in November in a claiming chase; failed to get round when last seen; provided his jumping holds up this time should be thereabouts.

Spotlight :
Couldn't land a blow when 11th of 15 at Compiegne over 2m3½f (handicap chase) last month; should be thereabouts given several of his rivals have questions to answer and the handicapper has given him a chance.

Spotlight :
Finished second in a conditions hurdle at Fontainebleau latest; not disgraced when fourth of eight in 2023 in a conditions chase; has a record of 1-17; back over fences; recent form is thin on the ground in this contest so ought to be in the mix.
