Charlie Appleby Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of four of his 13 starts and currently rated 116. Ended last season with a three and a half length success from With Thanks in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket (7f) in October.

Trainer says

He is another who will be joining our seven-furlong gang and we last saw him winning at Newmarket in October on his last start there. He will have a bit more time and we will be looking back from Super Saturday. There is a new race there on the programme, the Ras Al Khor, over seven furlongs on Super Saturday and he will be aimed at that.

Form profile

Winner of 8 of his 15 starts and currently rated 115. Finished runner-up, beaten half a length, to Lord Glitters in the Group 3 Bahrain International Trophy at Sakhir (1m 2f) in November when last seen out.

Trainer says

He was just touched off in Bahrain and is still showing his enthusiasm at the grand old age of eight. He is going to head toward the Dubai Millennium or even the Singspiel. Those are his targets.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 10 starts and currently rated 118. Very progressive last season and was scoring for the fifth time when beating Glen Shiel a length in the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot (6f) in October.

Trainer says

He could potentially join our sprinting team but is currently still in the UK. He is a possible horse for the Carnival and would go straight to the Al Quoz Sprint. He won the Champions Sprint at Ascot, and he would possibly go for the Al Quoz with the mindset that he will be campaigned throughout the European season.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 8 starts and currently rated 110. Gained his last success when beating Secret Protector a length and a quarter in the Listed Feilden Stakes at Newmarket (1m 1f) in April.

Trainer says

He is a horse we saw at the Craven meeting winning the Feilden Stakes there and he slightly disappointed a little bit during the course of his three-year-old career, but he has been gelded and has done very well since. He would be going for something like the Al Rashidiya on January 21. Again, working back from Super Saturday, the Group 1 Jebel Hatta on March 5.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 7 starts and currently rated 108. Finished third, beaten three lengths, to Path Of Thunder in a mile conditions event at Meydan (1m) this month.

Trainer says

We were pleased with his start last week when finishing third to Path Of Thunder showing signs that he would be suited by the drop back to seven furlongs. He goes for the Al Fahidi Stakes on January 21.

Form profile

Winner of five of his 12 starts and currently rated 112. Gained his last success in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes at Newmarket (5f) in May when scoring by a neck from Came From The Dark.

Trainer says

Hopefully he will be joining our sprinting team for the Carnival. He will run on January 28 in the Dubai Sprint and we will be looking to the Al Quoz on World Cup night.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 6 starts and currently rated 105. Gained his last win in the Listed Dubai Sprint (Handicap) at Meydan (6f) in February of last year when beating Final Song three lengths off a mark of 96.

Trainer says

He runs in the sprint this weekend and is a handy little horse. He will be running in those five and six furlong events working back from Super Saturday.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 6 starts and currently rated 105. Winner of his three starts last year culminating in a two and a quarter length success from Documenting off a mark of 99 at Lingfield (7f) in October.

Trainer says

He is a horse that has done little wrong, and he will start out in handicaps out here but is showing he is ready to stretch his neck up into Pattern company.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 11 starts and currently rated 111. One of several solid efforts when runner-up, beaten a length and a quarter, to Creative Force in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f) in June.

Trainer says

He goes for the Al FahIdi on January 21 and will join La Barossa in that contest. He had a consistent three-year-old career and has done very well since his arrival in Dubai.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 5 starts and currently rated 99. Last seen when beating Panadol five and a half lengths in the UAE Derby at Meydan (1m 1 1/2f) in March of last year.

Trainer says

He was last seen winning the UAE Derby. He will possibly come out on January 21 and that will be his first run of the year. We would, hopefully, be working back from the Dubai World Cup with him. He is showing the signs that the has done well from three to four and on the back of what we have seen from on the dirt so far, he is an exciting horse for us. We are very much hoping he will develop into a World Cup contender.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 12 starts and currently rated 105. Returned to winning form on his latest start in a conditions event at Kempton (6f) in October when scoring by two and a quarter lengths from Bahrain Pride.

Trainer says

He is another handy little horse who will join Man Of Promise in the sprint this weekend. He will have a very similar programme and be running in the five and six furlong events working back from Super Saturday.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 4 starts and currently rated 103. Scored for the third time in four starts last season when beating Scottish Summit half a length in a handicap at Doncaster (1m) in September off a mark of 100.

Trainer says

He has done very well and settled in very well since coming to Dubai and he is a horse who could potentially join Highland Avenue on Super Saturday. He was consistent throughout his three-year-old career and has thrived since he came to Dubai. He could potentially start off in the Al Rashidiya as well.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 4 starts and currently rated 103. Made a winning reappearance in the Listed Blue Riband Trial at Epsom (1m 2f) last April before finishing fourth, beaten nine and three quarter lengths, to Youthful Spirit in the Group 3 Chester Vase at Chester (1m 4 1/2f) in May.

Trainer says

Wirko runs this weekend in the listed conditions race over a mile and a half at Meydan. He was fourth in the Chester Vase having won the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom. We have given him a nice break since that last start and subsequently gelded him and have always had him on the radar for Dubai. We think conditions out here will suit him and he is a young horse we would like to think could progress throughout the Carnival and we will look to Super Saturday with him for something like the City of Gold and work from there. We are hoping he can reach those heights.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 12 starts and currently rated 120. Progressed with his racing last season and ended his campaign with a half-length success from Broome in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Turf at Del Mar (1m 4f) in November.

Trainer says

He did us proud last season and ended his campaign with victories in the Great Voltigeur at York, the Jockey Club Derby Invitational at Belmont and the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Turf at Del Mar. He could potentially join the team later with Creative Force and his target would be the Sheema Classic.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 5 starts and currently rated 111. Winner of his three starts as a three-year-old culminating in a two and a quarter length success from Grafton Street in the Grade 1 Summer Stakes at Woodbine (1m) in September.

Trainer says

He is one of the three-year-olds we have brought out. He is a Grade 1 winner and unfortunately misbehaved at the Breeders’ Cup, but he has done lots of work with the stalls team at Meydan and they are very happy with him. He will head towards the Guineas trial next week and potentially then go for the UAE Guineas or we could look to Saudi for the Saudi Derby.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 3 starts and currently rated 88. Scored by three lengths from Levitate in a conditions event at Chelmsford (1m 2f) in November on his final start.

Trainer says

He has won his last two starts. He is enjoying work on the dirt here and he is working back from the UAE Derby, and we will look at a Trial for him.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 2 starts. Off the mark in a novice event at Haydock (1m) in September when beating Dark Moon Rising a nose.

Trainer says

He is another three-year-old to come out to Dubai. He has only had two starts in his career but is doing well and he is working back from the Jumeirah Derby over ten furlongs on the turf. He will start off on January 21 in the Derby Trial.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 6 starts and currently rated 111. Gained his last victory in a listed event at Doncaster (7f) in September when prevailing by a nose from Hoo Ya Mal.

Trainer says

He was a consistent two-year-old and he could join Albahr and go for the UAE Guineas or the Saudi Derby. He had a good two-year-old career working up to finishing second in the Prix Lagardare before disappointing on his final start at Newbury shows signs of a busy campaign and soft ground. He has done well since he got here, and we will give him a little more time before unleashing him.
