James Ferguson Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of three of his eight starts and currently rated 116. Gained his most prestigious success in the Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York (1m 4f) in August when beating Secret State two and three quarter lengths. Subsequently highly creditable fourth, beaten five lengths, to Gold Trip in the Melbourne Cup at Flemington (2m) in November.

Trainer says

Deauville Legend was obviously one of the highlights of last season for us when winning the Great Voltigeur at York and we were absolutely delighted with his effort in the Melbourne Cup. He is in great shape and he is going to the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 15 starts and currently rated 99 (AW) and 92 on the turf. Returned to winning form when beating Qaasid a length in a valuable handicap at Lingfield (1m 2f) in April off a mark of 95.

Trainer says

Diderot won on Good Friday at Lingfield and I think he is more an All-Weather horse but I would like to give him a try on the grass. We will wait for better ground and his trip is a mile and a quarter.

Form profile

Extinction ran first time out at Chelmsford on Thursday and is a likeable horse who is sure to be winning races.

Finished fourth, beaten three and three quarter lengths, to Mount Athos on his reappearance in a handicap at Kempton (7f) in March off a mark of 101.

Form profile

No wins from five starts and currently rated 77. Finished sixth, beaten four lengths, to Expert Agent in a handicap at Lingfield (6f) in March off a mark of 77.

Beelzebub probably found the ground too soft when he was beaten at Yarmouth and we will wait for better ground. I have a couple of options for him at the end of May.

Form profile

Placed in three of his four starts and currently rated 77. Finished third, beaten four and a half lengths to Centre Court in a handicap at Newcastle (1m) on his reappearance in April off his current mark.

Canberra Legend runs in the Dante on Thursday and that will determine where we go after that. He remains unbeaten and won the Feilden in good fashion and we hope he can progress further. He worked nicely on Thursday morning under Michael Hills and all roads lead to the Dante.

Trainer says

Land Legend runs in the mile and a half race at York on Saturday with a view to going to Royal Ascot. If he stays the mile and a half he would be another possibility for the King George V Handicap.

Made an impressive reappearance in a handicap at Newmarket (1m 2f) in April when scoring by four lengths from Regal Empire off a mark of 83 but only sixth of seven, beaten eight and a half lengths, to Castle Way in the Listed Newmarket Stakes at Newmarket (1m 2f) this month.

Trainer says

Like A Tiger will be aimed at the London Gold Cup at Newbury on May 20 with a view to running in the King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot. He was impressive when he won at Newmarket’s Craven meeting but he just needed softer ground on his return at the Guineas meeting.

Roaring Legend is going to have an entry at Ripon. He is a nice horse and I feel he has just come up against it so far. Hopefully, his turn won’t be far away.

Form profile

Placed in one of her three starts and currently rated 62. Best effort when third, beaten three lengths, to Mojeyrr in a maiden at Southwell (6f) in April.

Stormy Denise should be competitive in handicaps at her level when stepping up in trip.

Trainer says

I am going to save him for the King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot. He has improved significantly since his maiden success at Wolverhampton and couldn’t have done it better at Doncaster. Hopefully, he can continue to progress.

Form profile

Winner of two of his four starts and currently rated 93. Made a winning reappearance when beating Covey (subsequent winner) a neck in a novice event at Southwell (7f) in April and not disgraced when fourth, beaten nine lengths, to Isaac Shelby in the Group 3 Greenham Stakes at Newbury (7f) later that month.

Zoology is going to go for the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. He is a good horse and going the right way.

Trainer says

She ran first time out at Brighton and she could run at Wolverhampton on Monday.
