Laval

Convincing winner at Caen last month, JOYEUSE ENTREE (10) was given a harness freshener at Vincennes 2 weeks later, and in similar form can open her Laval account. She will be opposed by the reconfigured JUBLA VIKING (9) provided Clea Roger gets her off on the right foot, and the terrifically-engaged ZANZA FRANK (17) who is as capable in one code as the other. Confirmed at Laval, and reassuring at Argentan 10 days ago, JAZZY THOURJAN (13) looks competitive once more. Sporting 4 pads following a pair of re-entry runs, and benefitting from an excellent entry, INSTINCTIF (18) has references at this level and must be taken seriously.
