Aix Les Bains Race 2

De Belledonne Chase

Stake: $46,369

LECOSTO (2) bids for a hat-trick following a comfortable 7L success over 3600m at Saint Brieuc last time. Leading contender. LE LISON (4) was runner-up two back at Lyon-Parilly before unseating in a steeplechase most recently at the same venue. Capable of atoning. DJEMBE DAVIS (5) returns from 81-day spell.
