mascot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bringer of luck' is the definition.
'mascot' can be an answer for 'luck' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'bringer of' bit.

'frenchman meeting' is the wordplay.
'frenchman' becomes 'm' (abbreviation for Monsieur - like 'Mr').
'meeting' becomes 'ascot' (horse racing meeting).
'm'+'ascot'='MASCOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mascot that I've seen before include "Good-luck charm" , "It is believed to bring good luck to its owner(s)" , "Thing believed to bring good luck to its owner or team" , "Lucky talisman" , "that's charming?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
