Improving last-start winner who has turned a corner/raised his game in this shoe-fitting. Absent since his victory at Caen on 24 June but cannot be taken lightly

Undefeated in this shoe-fitting and recently completed a hat-trick with a course-and-distance victory on 26 July. Has subsequently joined Marius Coignard's stable and seems likely to continue his momentum/winning streak
Ecurie Krouchi Mansour

Smart sort but is a tricky customer - disqualified in 2 of 5 appearances, including his latest at Rochefort-sur-Loire over 3000m on 5 August. His 4 completed starts have yielded 3 wins and a 2nd - shouldn't be underestimated
Patrick Lecot

Most effective in this shoe-fitting and boasts sound form references/credentials. Wasnt disgraced (8th) returning from a 2-month break at Enghien (over 2150m) on 13 July - attractive outsider

Race Overview
Great race. Mansour Krouchi's thriving colt LEMON FLEURY (4), who is unbeaten in this (plated) shoeing configuration, joined Marius Coignard's stable after his hat-trick win over this course and distance success last month and his momentum/winning sequence isnt likely to be halted. He gets the nod ahead of LA PAIX (10), whose back-to-back recent wins have been convincing/impressive, as well as fellow last-start winner LOVE GLYCINES (11) who, in a new shoeing configuration, may have even more to offer. Both L'EXPERT (8) and LOKY DE JIEL (1) are competitive for the places.
Selection:
4 - 10 - 11
