Laval

A fine servant that imposed with authority at Maure-de-Bretagne a month ago, LYNX DU RUISSEAU (14) ran 3rd in this very configuration here last summer and a repeat of his latest run would see him double his money. Although never far from faulting, LOUKY DE BAULON (7) returns to the provinces in fine condition and will be partnered by Benjamin Rochard for the first time. LUCKY DE CALVI (8) seldom disappoints when focused and David Thomain gets the nod. Winner at Caen a month ago, LABORANTIN (13) is better than his Saint-Malo would suggest and Arnaud Gilles Maillard has retained the services of a top driver.
