Spotlight: Has winning C&D form to his name; had two of these rivals behind him over 1m at Nantes (handicap, very soft) two weeks ago; hard to dismiss as recent performance was encouraging while he has won here before.

Spotlight: Beaten 10l when ninth of 16 over 1m at Nantes (handicap, very soft) 12 days ago; wins achieved at a lower level and yet to open his account after 33 starts; done no favours with the draw and others have more pressing claims.

Spotlight: Finished towards the rear of 14 over 1m1½f at Le Mans (handicap, heavy) two weeks ago.

Spotlight: Last of 13 over 7½f at Deauville (handicap, dropped a few pounds since) last month; track has proven suitable before; useful in his prime; likely to be involved as has won off this mark in the last 12 months while he has shown a liking for this venue.

Spotlight: Respectable effort (beaten just under 3l) over 1m1½f at Le Mans (handicap, heavy) when in front of three of these two weeks ago; a C&D winner; should be in the mix if building on last performance while he has won here before.

Spotlight: Finished eighth, beaten 5l, over 1m4f at Vichy (handicap) 53 days ago; track has proven suitable before; could be in the mix as has gone well here before and he has shown bits and pieces of promise.

Spotlight: Winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 37 and all his wins have been at a lower level; passed over and stall 15 could be problematic.

Spotlight: Possesses winning form at this track; ninth beaten 7l (ParisLongchamp) four months ago in a conditions race; returns from a layoff; easy to see her making an impression if able to run to the same level as her last win while she has won here previously.

Spotlight: Has won at this course; tailed off at Nantes over 1m (handicap, very soft) four weeks ago; tackling an extra 2½f now.

Spotlight: Finished sixth over hurdles last time out; finished fifth, beaten 17l, in a maiden (Les Sables D'Olonne) three months ago; passed over returning to this sphere.

Spotlight: Finished tailed off at Nantes over 1m (handicap) 12 days ago (very soft), handicapper dropped him a few pounds; has won here; now over an extra 2½f.

Spotlight: Successful twice in his last three starts; brings winning C&D form to the table; could not manage better than tenth over 1m1½f at Le Mans (handicap, heavy) two weeks ago; looks likely to be involved having won here in the past and the handicapper has given him a chance.

Spotlight: Possesses winning form at this track.

Spotlight: Five wins from 19 here; not beaten far when runner-up over 1m3½f at Angers (handicap) last month; holds major claims with his course form a positive and he has won off this mark before.

Spotlight: Will need to improve upon some moderate recent runs and yet to win a race of this value; held when eighth of 14 over 1m1½f at Le Mans (handicap, heavy) last month; others more persuasive.

Spotlight: Performed at a higher level than this in his peak; third last time.
