Improving last-start winner who has taken a particular liking for the PSF. Won over 1600m at Pau on 4 February and should be formidable in his first start at this level

Unplaced in each of his three starts this year (all on PSF) in conditions races over 1300m at Deauville (twice ) and on this course recently (8th on 24 February). Did, however, finish 4th in his only appearance at this level - lurker

Has finished 4th (at Deauville) and 6th (on this course on 24 February) in his two starts on PSF, both in handicaps over 1300m. Not to be underestimated in this category off a lower mark

Finished a well-beaten 13th on debut over 1500m on the PSF at Deauville on 15 December. Ought to have gained plenty from that experience but is best watched for now

Finished 5th in a 1400m claimer on PSF at Deauville in August. Made no impression in her comeback outing over 1700m on turf at Pornichet (finished 12th) but ought to have refined her condition since - best watched for now

Opened his account with a last-start victory in a 1500m PSF claimer at Deauville on 2 February, in his first outing at this level. Has more to do here but is not to be taken lightly

Versatile sort with references on both surfaces, which includes finishing 4th in consecutive outings over 1500m on PSF at Deauville (the latest of which was on 10 February). Ought to be competitive

Runner-up in a 1900m claimer on PSF at Deauville in December but has failed to confirm that improvement in 2 subsequent starts. Was only 7th in a 2150m claimer on turf at Cagnes-sur-Mer on 29 January

Improved in his first appearance at this level to finish a reassuring 2nd in a claimer over 1300m on PSF at Cagnes on 21 February. Could have a role to play here if building on that progress

Consistent filly who has only once finished off the podium (was 4th on that occasion) in seven starts - twice 2nd and four times 3rd. Wouldn't be winning out of turn after an encouraging 3rd over 1400m at Pau on 19 January

Race Overview
SPIELMAN (1) has raised his game in two starts on this surface at Pau and, with more improvement expected after a last-start victory at a higher level, it could pay to follow his progress in his first appearance in the claiming category. SPARKLING LIGHT (12) has been a model of consistency recently, also at Pau, and is likely to pose a threat in her continued pursuit of an elusive first career success. SUN PROJECT (9) and TEMPO (11) have shown enough in recent outings to be competitive for the places in a race of this nature.

1 - 12 - 9
