Form profile

Winner of four of his 13 starts and currently rated 109. Having his first run for the stable when a highly-creditable third, beaten three quarters of a length to Royal Zabeel in the Listed Wilfruna Stakes (7f) at Wolverhampton.

Trainer says

He ran the other day at Wolverhampton, and I thought he ran a good race. We felt beforehand that he would probably need the run, and it was his first time on the all-weather. He handled the surface well and it was a good first run of the season going into the spring. He might run in the Listed race at Doncaster at the end of the month over six furlongs. Last year his best form was between six and seven furlongs, and I don’t think he wants it too quick. It was good/good to soft, and when he won last year it was on the easy side - that is probably his preferable ground.

Form profile

Winner of one of his four starts and currently rated 90. Off the mark in a maiden at Windsor (1m 2f) last July, when beating Glendower by nine lengths, and subsequently third, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Endless Victory in a handicap at Yarmouth (1m 2f) in August off a mark of 91.

Trainer says

He is a half-brother to Giavellotto and last year he obviously showed ability and he a few niggling problems. He only had four runs, but he has had a nice break, and he has done well. The family gets better with age, knowing what Giavellotto has done, and the plan is that he might run in the Rosebery Handicap at Kempton at the end of the month. He stays well and this year he could probably step up to a mile and a half. He is a horse we are looking forward to getting out in the spring and hopefully he can progress.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 13 starts and currently rated 100. Gained his last success at Doncaster (1m 2f) last September when scoring by a neck from Liberty Lane off a mark of 97.

Trainer says

He did well last year, and he ran well in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot when finishing a close fourth to Wild Tiger. He is a funny sort of horse, and we keep changing the headgear on him, and then he won over a mile and two furlongs at Doncaster. We haven’t decided yet where we will start him off, but it could possibly be at Newbury.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 35 starts and currently rated 92. Finished third, beaten three and three-quarter lengths, to Penzance in a handicap at Chelmsford (1m 2f) on Thursday.

Trainer says

His best days are probably behind him, but he owes us nothing. He is a nine-year-old and ran a nice race at Chelmsford last Thursday. We will see how he goes, but he certainly retains his ability.

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 18 starts and currently rated 119. Returned to winning form in impressive fashion in the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup at York (1m 6f) in May, when beating Vauban by four and three-quarter lengths, and followed up with a three-and-a-quarter-length success from Arrest in the Group 2 Princess Of Wales’s Stakes at Newmarket (1m 4f) in July. Subsequently surpassed those efforts when landing the Group 1 Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin (1m 4f) in December by two and a half lengths from Dubai Honour.

Trainer says

He is in good form, and he worked well on Wednesday morning, so it’s so far so good. We are on schedule for the Sheema Classic at Meydan in early in April and we couldn’t be happier with him. He looks in good form but there is still three weeks to go and that is a long time for racehorses. He got stronger last year, and as he showed in his last race in Hong Kong he has also got faster. He showed us something that day which we hadn’t seen before, and we will campaign him over a mile and a half and then go a mile and six in the Yorkshire Cup and try and win it for a third time. He has a few options and the Sheema Classic will tell us where we go.

Form profile

Winner of four of her nine starts and currently rated 107. Gained her last success when beating Elim by a length in the Group 3 Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f) last September.

Trainer says

She is a nice filly who got black type last year when winning two Group 3s. She won the Chartwell Stakes and then the Sceptre at Doncaster, and we will probably start her off in the Chartwell Stakes again. She is a filly we could eventually drop back to six, as she has enough speed and there are a lot more options over six furlongs. She looks stronger over the winter and has done well.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 20 starts and currently rated 81. Finished third, beaten two and a half lengths, to Legal Reform in a 7f handicap at Southwell last Friday off his current mark.

Trainer says

He is a consistent older horse who is rated 81. His best form has been on the all-weather, but there is no reason why he wouldn’t perform on turf. He wants top of the ground, he doesn’t want it too soft, and his best trip is probably seven furlongs to a sharp mile.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 12 starts and currently rated 87. Finished runner-up, beaten a neck, to Penzance at Chelmsford (1m 2f) last Thursday.

Trainer says

He has been gelded since last year and was a little bit unlucky on a couple of occasions. Again, he was very unlucky at Chelmsford on his return on Thursday night. Maybe we haven’t seen the best of him, but he stays well and a mile and a quarter suits him. Hopefully he is one that is well handicapped going into the spring.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 11 starts and currently rated 86. Scored four times last season and completed a hat-trick when scoring by a nose from Haku off a mark of 83 at Southwell (1m 3f) last November.

Trainer says

He did well and finished off the season with three wins. He progressed through the season, but he wants a mile and a quarter and good ground. We haven’t decided yet when we will start him off, but we are in no rush with him. He could be out in April or May, and hopefully he can progress into the 90s.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 17 starts and currently rated 108.

Trainer says

He has been in Dubai and is coming back on Sunday. He ran some good races there without winning after winning two there the previous year. He faced some tough opposition a couple of times, and we will think about whether to take him back to Epsom, with a mile/mile-one being his optimum trip. We will get him back, freshen him up, and then start him back somewhere in May. He wants top of the ground, and he is a nice horse.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 12 starts and currently rated 87. Finished fourth, beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Intricacy in a 1m 2f handicap at Meydan on his final start for Doug Watson. Then finished eighth, beaten nine and a quarter lengths, to Penzance in a handicap at Chelmsford (1m 2f) last Thursday.

Trainer says

He ran at Chelmsford on Thursday and had been off the track for a long time, as he has niggling things going on. Hopefully he will come on for the run and we will see how he goes.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 29 starts and currently rated 77. Gained his last success at Newmarket (1m 2f) in July when scoring by half a length from The Thunderer off a mark of 75.

Trainer says

He is a very useful older horse, and every year he seems to find one or two races. He wants top of the ground and a mile and a quarter. We will probably start off at Windsor in the middle of April and then work our way through.

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 44 starts and currently rated 88. Finished fourth, beaten four lengths, to Run Boy Run in a handicap at Southwell (7f) in October.

Trainer says

He is another consistent older horse. On his best days he can put up good performances in valuable handicaps. He is getting older, and we may just pick and choose his races a bit more this year. We know he wants seven furlongs, and he will probably run this weekend at Southwell. Hopefully we can find a few options for him in the spring.

Form profile

Winner of five of her eight starts in Italy and ended last season with an easy four-length victory from Sun Never Sets in a Group 2 fillies’ and mares’ contest at Capannelle (1m 2f) in October, when trained by Endo Botti.

Trainer says

She finished off the season winning the Group 2 Premio Lydia Tesio and is a nice filly. She joined us in January, and we are lucky as we have plenty of time to get to know her. I think we might start her off in the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket at the Guineas meeting, with a mile/mile and a quarter probably being her best trip. She is versatile regarding ground, having won on really soft ground and with good form on good ground as well. She is a nice filly.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 11 starts and currently rated 90. Best effort last season came when runner-up, beaten a length and a half, to Big Evs in a Listed race at York (5f) in May.

Trainer says

We haven’t had too much luck with him - for one reason or another things just didn’t work out for him and races didn’t pan out for him. We decided to just wait and run him back on turf, but we know he is a very fast horse and five furlongs on a straight course is what he wants. I would like to think that now he has dropped to 90, he is a well-handicapped horse, so it makes sense to start there, and then hopefully get back to where he ran his best race in a Listed event at York.

Form profile

Scored by a head from Preanka on his only start in a novice at Wolverhampton (7f) earlier this month.

Trainer says

He is a horse who won first time out a couple of weeks ago. He is in again next week at Wolverhampton, and seven furlongs might be his best trip. We don’t really know what level he is at - when he won, he came off the bridle around the bend and looked in trouble before picking up. It was a nice start, and we learnt a little more about him.

Form profile

Placed in four of his eight starts and currently rated 69. Failed by just a short head behind Macedonian on his latest outing in a handicap at Kempton (6f) earlier this month off a mark of 67.

Trainer says

He is rated 69 and is quite useful, but probably only a handicap horse.

Form profile

No wins from four starts and currently rated 69. Finished fourth, beaten a length and a quarter, to Macedonian on her reappearance in a handicap at Kempton (6f) earlier this month.

Trainer says

She is a sprinter, and she ran well last week when finishing fourth. I think she is capable of winning a race with her rating.

Form profile

Winner of two of his four starts and currently rated 82. Off the mark in a novice at Chelmsford (7f) in September, when scoring by a length from Loving Apprentice, and followed up with a neck success from Olympus Point in handicap at Newmarket (7f) in October off a mark of 78.

Trainer says

He finished off the season by winning a handicap at Newmarket over seven furlongs. He did well that day as he is not the biggest horse, like his sire Holy Roman Emperor, but he does try. He has done well over the winter, and we might start in a handicap at somewhere like Newbury. He will start over seven furlongs but might get an extra furlong, and he wants top of the ground. Hopefully he can progress into something nice this year.

Form profile

Winner of three of his six starts and currently rated 88. Gained his last success when scoring by a length and a quarter from Joseph in a handicap at Newcastle (1m) in February off a mark of 83.

Trainer says

He has been consistent on the all-weather and didn’t disgrace himself in his last run at Kempton. That was a very good field, and he is rated 88 and is capable of winning off that mark. He is just a handicapper, but he could go for something like the Esher Cup.

Form profile

Winner of his only start at Chelmsford (1m 2f) in November when short-heading Mersea Island.

Trainer says

He won first time out and is a big horse. He did well to win, as despite his size he showed us some ability in the morning. We thought he was raw and green and needed the run, but to win first time out he has to be above average, and he could go to Yarmouth in April. A mile and a quarter is the minimum for him, and he has done well over the winter and looks stronger as well. He is a nice horse for the season.

Form profile

Off the mark on his second start at Wolverhampton (1m ½f) in December when beating King Of Narnia by two and three-quarter lengths.

Trainer says

He won at Wolverhampton in what probably wasn’t the strongest race late in the season. He has had a nice break and looks stronger as well, especially for a horse that came from the Breeze-Ups. He should be in action at the end of March and is out of a Dalakhani mare, so will probably get a mile and a quarter. He could be an interesting horse.

Form profile

No wins from three starts and currently rated 76. Finished fourth, beaten three lengths, to Sallaal in a novice at Yarmouth (7f) on his final start in October.

Trainer says

He is a horse that is probably better than he showed last year. He came from the Breeze-Ups and was probably still a bit weak and certainly not the finished article. He wintered well and we have him in the novice at Wolverhampton on Monday. A rating of 76 seems fair, and hopefully he can progress as the season goes on.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten a neck, to Aegean Prince on his second start in a maiden at Kempton (1m 3f) in December.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse who is bred to be a stayer. He was showing some speed in the morning, so we ran him over a mile at Newmarket and he got a little bit lost in the dip. It wasn’t really for him, but then he went and ran a solid race at Kempton over a mile and three. The form of that race has actually worked out quite well, and we have a race in mind at Southwell in early April over a mile and a half. He is definitely a stayer and could be an exciting horse moving forward.

Form profile

No wins from three starts and currently rated 74. Finished fifth, beaten three and three-quarter lengths, behind Hey Boo on stable debut in a maiden fillies’ event at Chelmsford (7f) in February.

Trainer says

She is a filly we bought from Godolphin, and she probably ran just okay for us at Chelmsford two weeks ago. We have her in at Chelmsford again on Saturday in a novice, and she looks capable of winning a handicap off her mark.

Form profile

Better effort on second start in a novice at Kempton (1m) in October when third, beaten a length and a quarter, to Masai Moon.

Trainer says

He is not the biggest, but he is well bred and ran a solid race at Kempton at the backend of the season. He looked weak and immature last year, and he needed time to just strengthen up. He runs at Southwell on Saturday in a novice and is a horse we like a lot. We hope he is going to be a horse that wants a mile to a mile and a quarter, and we have given him an entry in the German Guineas. He has done well, looks stronger, and definitely has ability.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He will probably be a middle-distance horse, but he is a good mover. He hasn’t done any fast work yet, but he is a likeable horse for sure.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is a filly we bought at Fairyhouse last year and is a medium-sized two-year-old who goes okay - she is showing a bit of speed. Our two-year-olds don’t tend to run until early May, but it's so far so good and she definitely has ability.
