Winner of six of his 41 starts and currently rated 95. Best effort this term when fourth, beaten a length and a half, to Inver Park in the Buckingham Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot (7f) in June off a mark of 96.

Trainer says

He was bitterly unlucky in the Victoria Cup at Ascot where he never came off the bridle after having a nice pipe-opener at Kempton. He then ran a stormer in the Buckingham at Royal Ascot where he was drawn on the wrong side and switched all the way over the far side. He then, uncharacteristically, ran flat as a pancake in the International at Ascot. I don’t really know why but he did pick up an injury at the end of last year which meant we started him off very early. I just wonder if he just needed a little bit of a break and he is now out having a freshen up in the paddocks for three weeks. He is a very easy horse to get fit and we may possibly look at the Ayr Gold Cup. I have always thought that six furlongs was his best trip and I was gutted when he missed the Wokingham by one - I think seven just stretches him and a well-run six is ideal.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 11 starts and currently rated 68. Finished fourth, beaten two and a half lengths, to Myboymax in a handicap at Yarmouth (1m 6f) last Tuesday off her current mark.

Trainer says

She ran much better at Yarmouth the other day and I spent all my time thinking she wants soft ground but she maybe doesn’t want soft ground at all. Most of her better performances have been on a sounder surface. We tried a mile and six the other day but I don’t think she stayed and we will drop her to a mile and a half on a better surface on a flat galloping track. She can win again.

Form profile

Winner of three of his seven starts and currently rated 98. Finished third, beaten three and three quarter lengths, to Baryshnikov in a handicap at Pontefract (1m 2f) in April off his current mark.

Trainer says

He is a lovely big horse and he ran a blinder at Pontefract on his reappearance carrying an absolute monster weight. The form of that race worked out very well and he then picked up a really nasty injury which has ruled him out since then. He is going to do his first piece back and if he is ready for York, wonderful, but it may come a little too soon. He has some nice races in him and is rated in the high 90s. I always thought he would be more than capable of being a Stakes horse and he will stay a mile and a half this year. I think he can go on most surfaces and, long term, he might be one for the Dubai Carnival.

Form profile

Winner of four of her 20 starts and currently rated 77. Finished third, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Precisely in a handicap at Ffos Las (1m 2f) in July off her current mark.

Trainer says

Lasting Legacy has been a touch frustrating - she won her first race for the yard at Chelmsford and I thought we had a filly with a bit in hand but she hasn’t really gone on from that. She is a bit of a madam and a bit highly strung and I thought she had perfect conditions at Ffos Las the other day where she had soft ground and a small field but there was no pace in the race. We might explore a mile and half and hope there is bit more improvement there.

Form profile

Winner of five of his 28 starts and currently rated 92. Came closest to victory this season when runner-up, beaten half a length, to Pistoletto in a handicap at Lingfield (1m 4f) in April off a mark of 94.

Trainer says

He is an old boy and he absolutely loves Lingfield. If you saw him work at home you would think Lingfield would be the last place to run him but he loves it. He will go for a winter campaign where he will probably only run at Lingfield.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 13 starts and currently rated 87. Gained his last success on his stable debut at Nottingham (1m ½f) in April when beating Fame And Acclaim two and three quarter lengths off a mark of 82.

Trainer says

Seasett is one that has to have it bottomless. He won first time up at Nottingham and I was delighted with that and I have run him in a few races which, if I am honest, I shouldn’t have run him in. Good ground is not soft enough and for him the softer the better. He has had a freshen up and is in at Haydock at the weekend but looking at the weather forecast there’s no chance of it being soft enough. We will just be patient and wait for the ground to come. I have no doubt there is more winning to come from him but he just needs proper soft ground.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 12 starts and currently rated 105. Little to show in three starts this term and finished 10th of 11, beaten eight and a half lengths, to Garrus in a Group 3 at Deauville (6f) in July.

Trainer says

She has been really disappointing this year and has had three runs and it just hasn’t happened. I put a visor on her last time and that just lit her up in France. I think she had a really hard year last year and I just hope it hasn’t left its mark. She hasn’t had her ground - all her good races last year were on soft ground - and we will wait now for the ground. There is a little Listed Fillies race at Pontefract in two weeks’ time that she could go for if we get soft ground. We will just be patient now and if she doesn’t fire then she will be off to the paddocks.

Form profile

Winner of three of his nine starts and currently rated 80. Finished runner-up, beaten three lengths, to Pride of America in a handicap at Haydock (1m 2f) in June off a mark of 80.

Trainer says

He is a very strange horse and he works very well at home and leads Grand Alliance in all his work. He is a big rangy horse with a massive high knee action. He wants it as soft as you possibly could have it on the turf and he could go to Kempton on Wednesday. There’s definitely more to come.

Form profile

Winner of 11 of his 51 starts and currency rated 103 (All-Weather) and 92 on the turf. Gained his last success at Sandown (1m) in June when beating Coase a neck off a mark of 91.

Trainer says

He won nicely at Sandown earlier in the year and he will get an entry in the Shergar Cup. It is a race which suit him as he loves going round a bend and a stiff mile is perfect for him. He is what he is and he shouldn’t have run at York as he’s never run a good race there. Those older horses handicaps around a bend are where he can pick up some prize money.

Form profile

Winner of one of her seven starts and currently rated 72. Finished runner-up, beaten three and three quarter lengths, to Senorita in a handicap at Ffos Las (7 1/2f) in July off her current mark.

Trainer says

She bumped into one at Ffos Las last week and we went there thinking we would be hard to beat. Andrew Balding ran one there that but having been thrown in, she beat the others easily. She wants cut in the ground and there will be more races to be won with her.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 10 starts and currently rated 92. Best most recent effort when third, beaten three quarters of a length, to Al Marmar at Ascot (1m) in July off his current mark.

Trainer says

Atrium is a gem of a racehorse and absolutely loves Ascot. He won at Ascot at the beginning of the year and ran perfectly well in the Britannia. He ran well again at Ascot the other day where they went absolutely no pace which didn’t suit him and he had to make a lot of ground up from off the pace. There’s more to come from him but he is another who wants a bit of cut in the ground. When the juice comes in the Autumn there is more winning to come from him.

Form profile

Winner of one of her three starts and currently rated 64. Off the mark in a maiden at Yarmouth (6f) in June when beating Castleberg Rock two and a quarter lengths.

Trainer says

I was delighted with her when she won at Yarmouth which was particularly important as she has a very nice pedigree. Frustratingly, she was found to be lame after that and had a small injury behind and is trotting at the moment. She isn’t going to be out for a while but like a lot of my horses she wants soft ground so we may not have missed any time with her. She is quick and you could drop to five furlongs if you wanted to and, hopefully, she will have a good autumn.

Form profile

Winner of two of her six starts and currently rated 84. Scored by half a length from Spacer in a handicap at Leicester (7f) in July off a mark of 82.

Trainer says

She is a lovely filly and works well at home. She is a big raw filly with loads of speed and we dropped her back to seven in a small field at Leicester last time and she just got home but they pulled a long way clear of the rest. I don’t think those are her ideal conditions. She wants a nice field and a nice pace to aim at and wants burying (getting cover). She has been entered into the Racing League at Doncaster on Thursday and the seven furlongs there could be a really nice starting point. She was put up 2lb for her Leicester win and I’m happy enough with that. What you see on the racecourse in not quite what I see at home and I think she is very talented.

Form profile

Winner of two of his eight starts and currently rated 106. Best effort this season when runner-up, beaten a short head, to Changingoftheguard in the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m 4f) in June. Disappointing in the Group 3 Gordon Stakes at Goodwood (1m 4f) on Wednesday when eighth of 10, beaten nine and a half lengths, to New London.

Trainer says

Grand Alliance ran at Goodwood last week and he is a complicated horse and not easy. I don’t think he liked the track and I had fear and voiced fear about the track before the race but it was either that or the Great Voltigeur at York and, again, it’s a track that suits horses that tend to be up with the pace. He was out of his comfort zone and he just didn’t finish like he had done at Royal Ascot. I had Prince Of Arran, who retired last year, and their personalities are remarkably similar. I don’t think he had a hard race at Goodwood and when I weighed him, he was only 4kg lighter than before he ran and he trotted up good as gold and polished off all his feed. We could go for the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury in a few weeks’ time. It’s a track that will really suit him and the mile five would suit. I would love to see him with a bit of cut in the ground - he has run on rattling fast ground all his life but I am convinced he wants cut. The only reason we have kept on running him on quick ground is that he handles it and goes on it but he has a round old action and hits the ground hard.

Form profile

Winner of one of her four starts and currently rated 78. Off the mark with a length and three quarter success from Infinitive in a novice fillies’ event at Salisbury (1m 2f) in June.

Trainer says

She is a nice unexposed filly and the jockey felt the ground was plenty quick enough at Salisbury last time. I think she will stay a bit further - she is by Sea The Stars out of a Fantastic Light mare - I don’t think there’s any reason she won’t stay 12 furlongs and she is in at Kempton in about 12 days’ time. It’s a fillies’ race and it's an absolutely perfect race for her.

Form profile

Winner of one of her five starts and currently rated 74. Off the mark with a three quarter length success from Beautiful Colour in a fillies handicap at Lingfield (1m 2f) in June off a mark of 69.

Trainer says

She ran a really nice race at Lingfield where she won and then she ran at Newbury and ran a very strange race. She got outpaced and was first off the bridle and then stayed on like she would want further but we felt she didn’t stay at Newmarket. I just wonder if she might turn out to be better on the All-Weather. Her brother Sarvan is trained by George Scott and he is better off the turf and I wouldn’t be surprised if she just likes an artificial surface. She is quite a light-framed filly and I do next to no work with her and that might be the case. There is a race coming for her at Kempton shortly.

Form profile

Winner of one of his seven starts and currently rated 61. Opened his account with a three quarter length victory from Mujid in a handicap at Windsor (1m 3 ½f) last week off his current mark.

Trainer says

He was a very good looking horse from the breeze ups but has been a very disappointing horse. We stepped up in trip the other day and he won nicely and maybe there is more to come. He stays well and we might look at stepping him up further.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 11 starts and currently rated 77. Finished third, beaten two and a quarter lengths, to The Nu Form Way at Chester (1m 4 ½f) on Sunday.

Trainer says

She has been a star this year and has run lots of times but turns up every time. Her owner absolutely loves Chester which is why she has run there a few times but I don’t actually think she likes the track. She has a great big long stride and she has run very well there but I can’t wait to see her on some soft ground in the autumn. She is improving at a rate of knots and it wouldn’t surprise me if she picked up some black type at some stage either this year or next. She is still ahead of her mark.

Form profile

Winner of one of her two starts. Scored by a length and a half from Emily’s Eclipse in a novice fillies’ event at Newmarket (7f) in July.

Trainer says

Cloudbreaker was very impressive at Newmarket recently where I don’t think she came out of second gear to win hands and heels. Annoyingly, she came back from that race lame and she has picked up an injury which rules out this season. If we had a clear run, we might come back in November time. Whether we bring her back to give her more experience we will see but she is a Sea The Stars that I have always loved.

Form profile

Winner of three of his four starts and currently rated 89. Took his career a further step forward when beating Holloway Boy half a length in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f).

Trainer says

We were absolutely delighted with Marbaan’s victory in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood last week. We have always liked the horse but when you have just over 20 two-year-olds you have much less to compare them with. With us they might work well at home but the rest could be completely useless. You never quite know until you get to the racetrack but he is a really uncomplicated horse which makes my life easier. I thought he travelled through the race nicely and I think Jamie (Spencer) gave him an absolute peach of a ride. He is smart and has won a Group 2 now and it’s a very lovely problem to have but where do we go next? The obvious choices are the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster where he would have to carry a Group 2 penalty - the track would suit him and there may be a bit of cut in the ground and there are a lot of positives about the race or we go big and go over to Ireland and run in the National Stakes which is a race that would really suit him but there will be a few of Aiden O’Brien’s in there and that’s what your up against but he deserves a crack at something like that. He’s run four times already and way ahead of the game so there is no rush whatsoever. If we were being really adventurous we would be thinking of a Breeders’ Cup as a mile around a bend would be lovely at the end of the year.

Form profile

No wins from two starts. Failed by only a neck behind Solutre in a maiden at Newcastle (7f) in July on his second outing.

Trainer says

I love this horse and he is very straightforward. I think he was very unlucky at Newcastle the other day where he was drawn low which I think is the wrong place to be drawn. They all came over the top of him and I think he got intimidated by a nice one of Hugo Palmer’s. The first three or four look nice horses and he will want some cut in the ground on the turf. He will stay further than seven and he is a nice horse. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is running in some top nurseries later in the year and maybe even higher.

Form profile

No wins from three starts and currently rated 72. Finished runner-up, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Malrescia in a novice at Hamilton (5f) in May on his last start.

Trainer says

I was really disappointed with him at Southwell and he has been gelded since. He is a sprinter type for nurseries over five and six furlongs. Again, he wants soft ground and there should be races to be won with him.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

I think my two-year-olds are nice bunch and Surrey Racing have a very nice Dream Ahead colt who will be one for the autumn.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

He is a nice big scopey horse for the autumn but I really like his work so far.
