Form Snapshot: Has made no impact whatsoever this season, most recently 7th in a Vincennes Class E a fortnight ago, and with shoes on will have nothing to offer
4 17:40 Angers (France) 09 Sep 2026
Prix Destination Angers - Attele (4YO only)
1m 7f 117y (A.W.)
Form Snapshot: Has buckets of ability but is as complicated as they get. Receives a second chance in his new configuration and, if behaved, can wrap this up
Form Snapshot: Serious element making first appearance since being disqualified in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m last November and is going to need the race
Form Snapshot: Was unable to confirm Mauquenchy performance when disqualified in a Bernay Class E 10 days ago. Won on his sole start with Anthony Barrier and will generate interest
Form Snapshot: Unexceptional mare making Angers debut after having been disqualified in an Argentan Class E 3.5 weeks ago and can expect to have few friends
Form Snapshot: Finished 4th in a Class E at Pornichet over 2,650m on 20 August. Is clearly close to his race, and goes barefoot for the first time, but in this category may have to settle for minor honours
Form Snapshot: Has won 2 of last 4 starts, most recently a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 28 August, and a similar effort would see him repeat
Form Snapshot: 4th in a 2700m Vincennes Class E 2 weeks ago. Never an easy nut to crack when applied and under these conditions is unlikely to disappoint
Form Snapshot: Never far from losing his action but is dynamic when applied. Sports modified shoeing and on good behaviour can set the cat among the pigeons
Form Snapshot: Third in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,050m on 25 August. Faces a much tougher task this time and is unlikely to shake things up
Form Snapshot: Starts for the first time since finishing 7th in an Enghien Class E in early-July. Is patently in race-mode, at just 15 Euros from elimination, and with Eric Raffin reining can make a big splash
Verdict
There are plenty of possibilities in this closely-matched contest. Impressive winner at Cabourg in late-August, MINIMUM (7) is preferred to the tricky MALIBU (2) who will be no soft touch if he deigns to keep his action together. MARBELLA (11) is better than her seventh place at Enghien in early-July suggests and will be barefoot for the first time. In his category, MIRACLE OF LOVE (8) has a chance.
