Agen 23 March 2025

Disappointing here in February before running 7th of 11 in a 2875m Enghien amateurs Class F 9 days ago. Is confirmed here though and has a decent chance of picking up a first-5 paycheque

Unseen since being sanctioned in a 2400m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class F last September and will have nothing to offer

Serious type making first appearance since finishing a lacklustre 10th of 12 behind GENIUS DE BRAYE (8) in a similar event here 2 months ago. Nicely-positioned behind the car but may just need the run

Unremarkable trotter that ran 12th of 13 on re-entry in a 2800m Pontchateau Class F on 7 March. Races barefoot this time but is simply not up to the task

Unraced since finishing 7th of 13 in a 2375m Castelsarrasin Class F last November. Well-placed in front but runs shod and not a priority

Last of 14 finishers to ICARE DE BANVILLE (13) in an amateurs Class G over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Is a serious sort with nothing to prove in this category but stays shod and best to wait

Returns to racing unshod after coming 7th of 9 in an amateurs Class G under these conditions mid-February and will be dangerous if she replicates her penultimate performance

Lost his action in an amateurs Class G over track and trip 3 weeks ago. Is no slouch when focused, is shod to preference this time, but still no more than a minor place prospect

Kicked the year off nicely but disappointing since, most recently sanctioned in a 2625m Class F here on 3 March, and can expect to have few friends

10th of 14 finishers in a 2625m Class F here 3 weeks ago and can be confidently disregarded

Pleased for the most part over the winter and ran 3rd of 13 in a 2850m Hyeres amateurs Class G 3 weeks ago. Handed a tough number but is as game as they come and is unlikely to be far off the mark

Made up for Auch sanction when 2nd of 12 in a 2950m Toulouse Class F on 7 March. Not ideally-placed on second row but in current condition is easy to recommend

Has won 3 of 5 this year, latterly an amateurs Class G over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Handed a rough draw but still looks the pick of the field

Last but one behind IVRE DE JOIE (12) in a 2950m Toulouse Class F on 7 March. Is new to the venue and has little going for him here

5th of 15 to ICARE DE BANVILLE (13) in an amateurs Class G over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Sports modified shoeing this time and in spite of a shocking draw, can nevertheless play a role

Has not put a foot wrong since late-December, most recently 3rd of 13 in a 2600m Saint-Galmier harness Class G last weekend. Is as good in one code as the other and from the front row can give this a good go. Place chance

Back under the saddle after making short work of a 2650m Bordeaux harness Class F on 8 March. New formula for the occasion and given her aptitude for the code can contest the finish

On a decent run of form this year, most recently a respectable 5th of 7 finishers in a Class E under these conditions 3 weeks ago. Breaks in front and while not a priority, is not to be overlooked either

Moderate 4th of 16 in a 2675m harness Class E at Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne early this month and already looks out of his depth

Solid in last 2 under harness, most recently 4th of 11 in a 2800m Auch Class G a fortnight ago. Enjoys a front-row start and his reliability stands him in good stead. First 5

Made a fine return to competition 3 weeks ago when 2nd of 15 in a harness Class F over course and distance. Is 25m better off this time and has every chance of imposing

Takes first competitive monte steps for new handler, not having raced since being pulled-up over 2140m at Axevalla mid-January. Shoes off for the occasion, is well-engaged in front, and must be afforded respect

Fast-finishing 2nd of 7 in a 2925m Cagnes Class F on 7 March. On 2nd line again but looks more a minor place prospect this time around

Back under the saddle after running 5th of 15 in a 2050m harness Class E here 3 weeks ago and appears to be taking on too much

7th of 8 finishers behind IDOLE DE BEYLEV (1) in a 2600m Saint-Galmier harness Class G last weekend. Disappointing on the whole recently and even racing barefoot will struggle to make his mark

Unraced since faulting early in a 2750m Toulouse Class E on 18 January. Excellent in last 5 ridden starts and even though shod and giving away 25m, he is not incapable of surprising

Unseen since being sanctioned in a 2550m harness Class F at Beaumont-de-Lomagne last December. Barefoot for re-entry but will need the race

Pleased in 2 at Cagnes before being sanctioned in a Class E over course and distance earlier in the month and in this company will have little to offer

Won on debut before being sanctioned in next 3, most recently a 2050m Class E here mid-February, and others easier to trust

Put 4 straight sanctions behind her when courageous 2nd of 11 in a 2050m Class E here on 15 February. Has a lot going for her here and will be expected to give MAURINA BELLA (8) something to think about

Was going well before coming last of 6 finishers after having faulted in a 2950m Toulouse Class C on 19 February. Handed the 4-spot and should not be written off

Drops in category after finishing 7th of 8 in a 2650m Bordeaux Class C a fortnight ago. Handed a decent draw and the engagement of Louis Goetz will do her prospects no disservice

Got it right on re-entry when successful in a 2250m Auch Class F a month ago. Starts in front and should again figure prominently

Decent in all 4 starts this year, latterly 5th of 6 finishers behind MUST MAJYC (9) in a 2950m Toulouse Class C on 19 February. Unlikely to lose her maiden status but can nevertheless challenge for a spot on the podium

Showed significant improvement on 2nd start back, winning a 2325m Toulouse Class F on 7 March. Will not be inconvenienced by the draw in this small field and can expect the lion's share of support

Produced a pair of good efforts last month before being sanctioned in a 2750m Toulouse Class F 9 days ago. Not ideally-drawn but with application is unlikely to go home empty-handed

Lost his action in a 2800m Auch Class F a fortnight ago. Yet to show any particular aptitude for the game and can be passed over

Put a pair of sanctions behind her when 5th of 11 in a 2650m Bordeaux Class F a fortnight ago. In better company this time though and chances limited

Last of 8 in a 2650m Bordeaux Class F on 8 March. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be passed over

Encouraging 3rd of 16 in a 2675m Class F at Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne 3 weeks ago. A repeat, however, seems improbable

Capable sort but has not been seen out since running 7th of 10 in a 2150m Toulouse Class F in early-December and will need the race

8th of 11 behind JUST A SONG (6) in a 2250m Auch Class F on 16 February. Enjoys a front-row start and is barefoot for the occasion, but represents no more than minor place prospect

Steps back up in category after finishing 8th of 16 in an amateurs Class G over track and trip 3 weeks ago. Nicely-engaged here but others still preferred

Alternates the good with the less good but ran 4th of 10 finishers in a 2950m Toulouse Class F on 14 March and even though not ideally-engaged, can still get in on the action

Disqualified in last 2, latterly a 2950m Toulouse Class F on 14 March. Is not devoid of ability though and on good behaviour can begin to redeem herself

Hard to fault lately, most recently 3rd of 7 in a 2925m Cagnes Class E on 4 March. On the back line but is still in with a shout

Sanctioned when favourite here before running 6th of 11 behind JASPER QUESNOT (11) in a 2750m Toulouse Class E on 7 March. Has previously won at the venue and with application can again finish in the mix

2nd to JAVANAISE DE FARS (13) here in February before coming 3rd of 11 in a 2750m Toulouse Class E on 7 March. Has an extra 25m to travel this time but is still capable of bringing the fight to JUJU DE NORTHEN (12)

Oddly out of sorts when 9th of 12 finishers in a 2700m Machecoul Class F 3 weeks ago. Should not be too hastily-judged and even from the second row can make this her own

Good 2nd in Toulouse before comfortably winning a 2050m Class E here on 10 February. Starts with an initial handicap but the double is not out of the question

Sanctioned in 2 here before running 2nd of 9 finishers in a 2800m Auch Class F on 9 March, and can win this if Frederic Clozier manages to keep him focused

Unraced since finishing 9th of 11 in a 2750m Toulouse Class E late-October. Has been gifted a good number and although unlikely to get his nose in front, can still put on a decent show. First 5

Returns to racing barefoot after running last of 8 in a 2625m Class E here 3 weeks ago. Enjoys a decent draw and even though barefoot still looks an outsider

4th of 7 finishers on comeback in a Class E over course and distance mid-February. The run will have done him good, tends to go well at Agen, and from the 4-spot could pleasantly surprise

Pleasant 4th of 6 finishers, on return to competition, in a 2750m Toulouse Class E on 8 February. Will have come on for the run, races unshod from front line and will be no pushover

Below-par in 2 this year, latterly last but one in a 2750m Toulouse Class E on 7 March. Pleased on her only start here, is freshly-configured for the occasion and is not to be ruled out

Quality future prospect that ran 4th of 7 finishers on comeback in a Class E over course and distance on 15 January. Starts wide but has blown the cobwebs away and can get that maiden monkey off his back

Disappointing last of 9, a place behind LISA DU VIGNAC (6), in a 2750m Toulouse Class E on 7 March, and has no realistic chance

Sanctioned when unsupported in a Class G under these conditions last Sunday. Has looked decidedly ordinary since returning to competition this winter and can be disregarded

Was not pushed when 7th of 9 behind LITTLE DREAM D'ERI (1) in a 2800m Auch Class F 2 weeks ago. Has been specifically prepared for this and looks a serious proposition

Has not been seen out since securing a hat-trick of sanctions in a 2325m Toulouse Class E last September, and will have few friends

In the frame in 3 of 4 this year so far, latterly 2nd of 15 in a 2625m Class F here on 2 March, and even drawn 1 can play a leading role

Debuts at the venue after having won a 2950m Toulouse Class E on 8 February. Takes on some better horses this time but always gives his best and must not be ruled out

2nd of 13 in a Class E over course and distance on 15 February. In marginally better company this time but is plainly close to her race and will legitimately garner support

Has ample ability but disappointing lately, most recently sanctioned in a Class E under these conditions last weekend, and barefoot or not will have limited chances

Has not been seen out since finishing last of 10 in a 2625m Class E at La Rochelle early-November and is going to need the race

Good winner of a 2325m Toulouse Class D on 18 January, following 6 straight sanctions. Has a good entry here and a similar effort would see him go close once more

Courageous 6th of 12 in a 2200m Caen Class E on 6 March. Drawn wide but has good speed and on current trajectory can unblock her 2025 account

Tenacious 3rd of 13, a place behind KISS ME JIHEM (3), in a Class E over course and distance on 15 February. Pulled the 8-spot but will not be far off the mark if Manuel Criado positions him early

Ran 3rd at Toulouse before coming 7th of 9 finishers in a Class E over track and trip last weekend. Pulled a poor number though and will struggle to make much impact

Sprang a 29/1 surprise winning a 2925m Cagnes Class E on 4 March. Trainer would have preferred a better draw but is not one to be ignored

Pleased in two at Cagnes but was sanctioned in a 2625m Class F here 3 weeks ago and others easier to back

Sanctioned in last 3, latterly when well-backed in a Class E under these conditions 3 weeks ago. Is undeniably capable, is shod to preference, but others still easier to trust

Out of sorts when last of 13 in a 2925m Cagnes Class E on 4 March. Has bags of ability, has been handed a fine draw, and shod or not, is still a serious proposition

Twice a claiming winner this year then surprise 5th of 16 in a 2450m Caen Class D on 10 March. Is short on Agen references but handed the 3-spot and, with form maintained, will be no easy touch

Got back in the game when 3rd of 15 in a 2500m Class E at La Rochelle 3 weeks ago. Splits 2 serious horses but Jerome Paille can still be confident of a competitive run

Made it 2 in a row when victorious in a 2700m Class D at Lyon-La Soie on 23 February. Is confirmed here and can bring home the bacon
