Meslay Du Maine

Lightly-raced he may be but LOOKIERO (6) showed considerable talent at 3 and 4. He was beaten only by a very good horse on comeback early this month and, even though yet to finish a race for Eric Raffin, he will still be sent out with the lion's share of support. Always competitive when focused, LIEUTENANT COLUMBO (5) put on a good show after being eliminated at Argentan on re-entry and will be partnered by Alexis Collette for the first time. LOVER STILL (8) is not always at his ease but he can trot when it suits him; he has been reconfigured for his Meslay bow and even from the 2nd line will be no soft touch. LASTRONAUT DANOVER (2) reassured somewhat at Saint-Malo earlier in the month and cannot be discounted.
