Alessandro and Giuseppe Botti Stable Tour

Form profile

Very lightly raced, he created a bit of a surprise when he won the Group 3 Prix de la Porte Maillot from hot favourite Marianafoot.

Trainer says

He won the Porte Maillot well and deserves to line up at the Prix Maurice de Gheest this Sunday. He has run over the straight before and I think this is a perfect trip for him. I ran him over the mile at Newcastle and that turned out to be too long. He would prefer soft ground, but that is not something we are likely to get. However, he is in good form and this race is his big target. He has had a lot of issues, which explains why he hasn’t run a lot, but I really liked what I saw last time out and I’m hopeful we can continue in this way.

Form profile

Unbeaten in two starts, he made-all on his last start and showed a lot of courage to hold off Terrestrial’s challenge.

Trainer says

He has recovered well after his last start and will be aimed at the Prix de la Rochette, a Group 3 over 7 furlongs. His main target is the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere. He is still a bit tender and I want to give him a bit more time, as he looks very promising.

Form profile

A winner over 10 ½f furlongs on the all-weather, he was outpaced on his last start over 9 furlongs on the turf at Compiegne.

Trainer says

He will run in the same race as Lorenzo di Medici, a 2500m Quinté race at the end of the month. He loves the all-weather and I gelded him after he won that race at Lyon. He might have needed that last race.

Form profile

Good third on his debut over 7½ furlongs at Saint-Cloud in July.

Trainer says

He made a very pleasing debut and will be an interesting horse to follow. He will run over the mile and up to 9 furlongs. I’m sure he will win his maiden soon.

Form profile

A winner of a 9-furlong handicap in April, he then struggled off that higher handicap mark.

Trainer says

He has won a handicap and it’s a bit more difficult to win another one. But we will try. We will try him in another handicap on the all-weather on Saturday. He will be in the second division and we shall see how that goes.

Form profile

Seasoned handicapper who won a claimer in May before returning to handicap company in Chantilly, which proved too difficult despite his lower handicap mark.

Trainer says

He is one of the older horses, who will run in a handicap in the middle of August. He is still capable of producing a good performance on a good day, so it would be wrong to dismiss him.

Form profile

Won the marathon at Lingfield in April and finished seventh when stepped up to Listed company on his next start.

Trainer says

I would like to wait with him a bit as I would love to take him to Riyad next year. He produced some great runs on the all-weather at the beginning of this year and I want him to remain mentally sane so I’m going to be careful with his runs. I think he would do really well on the dirt.

Form profile

After winning on his debut and his second start, he has struggled and finished last on his last start at Marseille.

Trainer says

He has won on the all-weather and last time I thought he would win at Marseille and he finished last. I still don’t know why. Maybe 10f was too far, I don’t know. I’m going to bring him back to the mile and we shall see what he does there. He is entered in a race on Saturday.

Form profile

Still a little keen she tried to make-all on her last start but even though she was very courageous in the final furlong, she got pipped on the post.

Trainer says

She is always there or there abouts. I’m not sure if there is the right race for her at Deauville. The two-year-old races are tough. She doesn’t need a lot of work, so if there is a race that pops up to suit her, she could run, otherwise we will wait for September.

Form profile

He had a good position on the rail behind the favourites and quickened well, but found his route blocked at the decisive moment.

Trainer says

He will run in a Quinté on the all-weather at the end of the month. He loves the all-weather tracks and will be delighted to leave the turf behind.

Form profile

Runner-up on his debut over 10f at Saint-Cloud.

Trainer says

He is a good horse. I think he will run towards the end of the meeting. He never ran at two and made his debut in March. He then had a little issue but he is coming back well and I’m looking forward to seeing him again.

Form profile

Already under pressure in the final bend, he came back well to even threaten briefly for second place, but eventually finished third.

Trainer says

He will run in a Quinté on the all-weather. He has already won on the all-weather at Deauville at the end of last year and I think it should suit him.

Form profile

Winner of his last two starts over the mile.

Trainer says

He had a little problem, which is a shame as I wanted to run the Grand Handicap de Deauville with him. I will have to see what I do with him, but it looks likely that we will have to wait until the end of the season before we will see him again.

Form profile

Ran a bit too freely last time out when they split into two groups. He produced a good effort but then weakened.

Trainer says

He will run in a Class 2 race on Thursday on the all-weather. He is in good order. He has won a handicap and I think there is more to come from him. He is tough and very consistent, and he is easy to train.

Form profile

Ran in claiming races before finishing fourth in a 5½ furlong handicap at Dieppe.

Trainer says

He is going to run on Thursday in the Prix La Cauviniere, a handicap. He is in good form and if he runs well there is another handicap a bit later. If it proves too hard, then he would go back to running in a claiming race.

Form profile

Prolific handicapper on the all-weather, he was the runner-up in a 7-furlong handicap where he just missed out on the podium.

Trainer says

He is going to run this Thursday in another handicap. It’s the Quinté and if that works out well, he could go for a Class 1 race at the end of the meeting. He is a super horse, very tough, who is always competitive. He has only had one bad run and that was at ParisLongchamp when he stumbled as he was leaving the gates.
