Got back in the winner's circle when securing a Pornichet Class E on 20 August. Excels with his driver and looks set to take all the beating

Verdict
KENTUCKY DANICA (13), a convincing winner at Mauquenchy on 5 August, has an ideal opportunity here and Mathieu Mottier is unlikely to let this chance to follow up go begging. Talented under harness and partnered by Eric Raffin for his monte bow, MICHIGAN BRO (12) could well make his mark. JANE HUDSON (9), convincing winner at Pornichet, and KOMEDIE SOMOLLI (11), who is partnered by Benjamin Rochard, can fight it out for the remaining step on the podium.
