Agen 14 February 2026

Produced a 13-1 surprise when 3rd to IMPEC DE BERTRANGE (2) in a Class G over track and trip early this month. Races shod this time though and not an obvious choice

Hard to knock in the amateur ranks since the turn of the year. Is already a winner in the day's configuration and has every chance of repeating

Useful sort but has not been seen out since August. New trainer debuts him barefoot though and should not be underestimated

Sprang something of a surprise when 2nd in an amateurs Class G at Grenade-sur-Garonne 3 weeks ago. Shoes fitted this time though and best to keep one's powder dry

Ran good 3rd in a Marseille-Vivaux Class F on 18 January, has been handed an excellent draw, and debuts in the category with a realistic chance of getting off the amateur mark

Modest individual that has done little of note since September. Starts in front and although being aimed too high, could just pick up a cheque in this small field

Has taken well to the amateur category, latterly running 4th to IMPEC DE BERTRANGE (2) in a Class G over track and trip early this month. Is not as well-drawn this time but will be barefoot and competitive

Winner of 2 of 3 amateur starts. Appears to have found his niche in this category and, having been specifically prepared for this, is unlikely to disappoint

Unexceptional mare making first appearance since early-November. Has references in the amateur division, and will be competitively-shod, but will struggle to make her presence felt

Very disappointing since last summer. Races barefoot this time but still has no possible chance

Disappointing on the whole since last summer and has no realistic chance

A good, dependable element that prepped nicely early this month. Is in race-mode this time and, drawn well in front, can make his Agen bow a successful one

Serious mare that rarely disappoints when focused. Is still in conditioning-mode but has been handed a good draw and has already won at Agen 4 times. One to monitor

Has been very disappointing for some time and recent comeback runs have done nothing to inspire confidence

Won 3 and placed 2nd twice in last 5 starts. Is patently close to winning another, and the draw will only enhance his already good prospects

Took some time to come to hand this term but reassured in Toulouse mid-January when 4th in a Class E. Has yet to win at Agen but seldom disappoints and has every chance of making first 5

Has yet to deliver since coming to France but encouraged at Cagnes in early-January and has the wherewithal to pick up a cheque

Quality Italian sort that was beaten by the smallest of margins at Saint-Galmier on 24 January. Not ideally-drawn but is clearly in fine shape, and should competitive at the business end of the race

Has not been seen out since August 2024 and will not be given a hard race

Convincing winner of a 2650m Class E at Marseille-Vivaux on 18 January. Goes right-handed for the first time but in current condition is hard to ignore

Has done nothing of any note since summer of 2024 and is not about to change his ways

Has not been seen out since last October. Has made no impact for some time and will not be starting now

Quality element with fine monte credentials but is unraced since early-September and best to hold off

Has looked decidedly ordinary in both codes since last summer and even with shoes off can be ruled out

Serious mare returning to the provinces after placing in a Vincennes Class D early this month. Will appreciate the more even surface and is in with a realistic shout of imposing

Unseen in the code since October 2024 but has been showing his form under harness and, if ability transitions, can play a major part

Pleased on monte debut mid-January but failed to confirm early this month when last but one behind JANTARA DESBOIS (3) at Vincennes and cannot be considered a contender

Pleased in both ridden starts to date, latterly at Beaumont-de-Lomagne in November. Recent harness results less than good though and others easier to back

Switches direction after running 6th behind JANTARA DESBOIS (3) in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 9 days ago. Will be more competitive here and can compete for a place in the frame this time

Unable to pull off the hat-trick when failing to deliver in a Vincennes Class D 8 days ago. Should not be too hastily-condemned and can be backed with confidence this time

2nd in a 2650m claimer here in early-November. Has not been seen out since and is going to need the race

Courageous 6th of 8 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D last Tuesday. Raced better that day than the result would suggest and looks to have a reasonable chance of finishing in the mix

Last of 6 finishers behind NIGHT DE JANEIRO (6) on debut here on 1 February. Is fitted with pads this time but can still be passed over

Imposed like a good thing on debut in a Class F at Grenade-sur-Garonne 3 weeks ago. Goes right-handed this time but Manuel Criado stays faithful and will be expecting to double up

Took little time opening his account, winning a Saint-Brieuc Class F on 1 February. Beat a number of good horses that day and should again prove competitive for a place on the podium

Left a good impression on debut here early this month, running 2nd in a 2625m Class F. Is sure to have progressed and is easy to fancy for the win this time

3rd in both starts to date, most recently a 2625m Class F here on 17 January. Should hold her own but is unlikely to spring any surprises

Fitted with pads for the first time under harness. Has demonstrated decent aptitude but still appears to be taking on too much

Has not been seen out since completing the double at La Roche-sur-Yon last June and will have nothing to offer

Was eliminated on comeback at Toulouse last weekend. Is no champion and is not about to create an upset

Serious element that was never at his ease at Vincennes on Christmas Eve. Will be competitively-shod on this occasion and from the 3-spot can make a big impact

Put in a good showing behind a serious filly here on 9 January when 2nd in a Toulouse Class F. Benefits from a good draw once more and warrants respect

Never far from faulting, and still chasing that elusive first win, but is not devoid of ability and, with shoes off for the first time, can give this a good go from the 5-spot

Quality future prospect that ran a fine 2nd in a Bordeaux Class F late last month. Gets the chance to race barefoot this time, which could make all the difference. Claim

Starts for the first time since running 4th of 10 in a Montauban Class F on 28 December. In considerably better company this time and chances limited

Has turned a corner since starting to race barefoot, most recently easily winning a Class G over course and distance early this month. Steps up in category, and starts wide, but can still contest a place on the podium

Put a host of eliminations behind him on 26 January when 3rd, a place behind MON REVE (6), in a Bordeaux Class F. Will be shod as he was that day and will have a lot to contribute if he stays in stride

Moderate mare that has yet to show much liking for Agen but was not disgraced in Toulouse a fortnight ago and will have her supporters

Showed improvement on comeback mid-January when 4th of 10 in an Angers Class E. Will have come on for the race and can play a role

Eliminated in 4 straight prior to running 6th of 10 in a Class E over course and distance last Monday. Is back racing barefoot and can play a leading role if Romain Le Creps keeps her focused

Capable on a good day but eliminated in last 2. Will be barefoot for the first time but may still be taking on too much

Courageous winner of a Class E over course and distance on 17 January, on first barefoot start. Has had time to get back in shape and from the front line will have a decent first-5 chance

Quality trotter that has started to come into himself this year. Has solid Agen references and looks main threat to MANGO PAULO (7)

Has done little of note so far this term, most recently trounced in Bordeaux on 26 January. Is barefoot for the occasion but still not a priority

Has taken his game up a level recently, latterly running 3rd in a Vincennes Class D. Has a lot more going for him this time and the new configuration may just seal the deal. Claim

Well-engaged filly that ran 3rd in a 2150m Toulouse Class D on 9 January. Has yet to deliver here but the new formula can help to put that concern to bed

No slouch on a good day but has just the one race under his belt since the autumn break and the extra 25m does little to help

Back to racing unshod-behind after leaving a fine impression in Bordeaux. Langlois stable firing on all cylinders and a place in the frame appears well within her grasp

Progressive type that has yet to disappoint but has not been seen out since November and is unlikely to be over-stretched

Reliability not his strong suit but showed his form despite being eliminated here last week and can make a big splash if his driver keeps him focused

Made amends for Bordeaux blip when 2nd in a 2950m Toulouse Class E a week ago. Has yet to let the side down here and is not about to start now. First 5

Showed improvement when 4th behind LE CARAT D'AS (2) in a Toulouse Class E last Saturday. Has been handed a good draw and, although not a priority, is still worth keeping an eye on

Has done nothing but progress since starting to race in current configuration. Just missed out at Lyon-La Soie on 19 January and, runner-up on his only start here, is easy to fancy for a place in the picture

Gave a fine account on return from a spell when 3rd, a place behind LOVER DE CHENU (4), in a 2700m Class E at Lyon-La Soie on 19 January. Will have come on for the run and the draw will do his chances no harm

Is never far from faulting but has ability in abundance. Made short work of a 2050m Class E at Lyon-La Soie last time out and, with freshness on her side, can play a leading role

Has blotted his copybook just once since starting to race barefoot. Is plainly close to his race and will be no pushover if he takes to the new profile

Failed to live up to expectations in Toulouse last weekend. Reverts to an earlier formula and can get a look in if he stays in stride

Blows hot and cold but encouraged nevertheless at Lyon-La Soie late last month when 4th in a Class E. Will struggle to repeat however

Moderate trotter that has placed just once in 4 Agen starts and is unlikely to change his ways

7th of 10 behind LEMON CURD (7) on re-entry in Bordeaux late last month. Will have progressed for the race but has little to contribute here

Disappointing 6th of 14 in a 2625m Class E here early this month, and is unlikely to shake things up

Beaten only by a good horse in a Toulouse Class E a fortnight ago. Faces a tougher challenge this time but always gives his best and can pick up some prizemoney

Capable nordic import that pleased at Cagnes in early-January but eliminated in next 2. Has no clockwise references but has merit, starts in front, and should not be overlooked

Produced a pair of good efforts to cap off 2026. Has not been seen for almost 2 months but will be barefoot for the occasion and the front-row start will do nothing to hamper her prospects
