Home favourite Ronan Kleu and South African Richard Sterne were in a T3 one shot further back after 13 holes at -4, alongside Italian Guido Migliozzi, who signed for a 66.
Two-time former champion Matt Fitzpatrick, who has three holes to complete on Friday, was among those on -3
Mansell started from the tenth tee and made an opening bogey before bouncing back with birdies on the 12th, 15th and 17th to turn in -2 33.
He then finished with three birdies in his final four holes to get to -5.
