Owen Burrows Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of three of his nine starts and currently rated 113. Made a winning reappearance in the Listed Spring Trophy at Haydock (7f) earlier this month when beating Tiber Flow by a length and a quarter.

Trainer says

It was good to get him back at Haydock recently. He won the Listed race there and we dropped him back to seven furlongs, which seemed to suit. We will go back to Haydock for the Group 3 John Of Gaunt Stakes on Saturday week. We will keep him at around seven furlongs and look at the Lennox Stakes and the new Group 1 at York. He goes on fast ground but was also second to City Of Troy in the Dewhurst on soft ground, so he is pretty versatile, but prefers fast ground.

Form profile

Winner of nine of his 15 starts and currently rated 123. Gained his most prestigious success on his final start last season, when beating Calandagan by a half a length in the Group 1 Champions Stakes at Ascot (1m 2f) in October.

Trainer says

All being well he starts this weekend, and is more likely to go to Ireland for the Tattersalls Gold Cup. I have been very pleased with him, and he is coming along real nice. He is in the Prince Of Wales’s, and he will also be in the Eclipse, Juddmonte, Irish Champion and the English Champion again. He went through the handicap ranks and won the John Smith’s off 103, but he has had a few niggles through his career. For a seven-year-old, he is relatively lightly raced, and when he finished fifth in the Prix Dollar it was the first time in his career that he had finished out of the first three. He goes on fast ground, but in an ideal world we would want a little juice in the ground. I wouldn’t want to run him too many times on it and there is a little bit of rain about at the end of the week. He is also entered in the Prix D’Ispahan in France on the same day, but I think the ground will be a bit quick over there.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 10 starts and currently rated 113. Finished fourth, beaten seven and a half lengths, to City Of Troy in the Group 1 Derby at Epsom (1m 4f) last June. Subsequently finished eighth, beaten 11½ lengths, to Danon Decile in the Group 1 Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan (1m 4f) on last start in April.

Trainer says

He had a bit of a campaign at the start of the year, running in Saudi and Dubai, and we are just going to lower our sights a fraction. He is one I think is better with a bit if cut in the ground, and there is Group 2 at Chantilly in June. I would like to see a bit of rain and so we will have to box clever, as such, with him, and try and find the right opportunity. He was fourth in a Derby and third, demoted to fourth, in a St Leger, so he has some near-enough top form in the book, though he has only won a maiden and we will have to try and correct that.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 13 starts and currently rated 93. Finished last of 12, beaten six and three-quarter lengths, to Roman Dragon in a 5f handicap at Chester earlier this month off a mark of 94.

Trainer says

He looked most progressive last year and won a handicap at Ascot, but then he refused to race at Goodwood having never shown any signs of that. I ran him at Chester’s May meeting, where he was drawn 10 of 12, and at least he jumped out. He finished out the back there, but he hit the rail two and a half down and lost his back leg, and Pat just looked after him after that. He needs good ground or easier, and I will have a look at the Dash on Derby Day at Epsom. He is certainly a good, fun horse for his owners.

Form profile

Winner of three of his six starts and currently rated 106. Returned to winning ways at Ascot (6f) in July when beating Fresh by two and a half lengths off a mark of 87, and followed up over the same course and distance in August when accounting for Venture Capital by two and three-quarter lengths off a mark of 95. Subsequently produced another sound effort in the Group 3 Bengough Stakes at Ascot (6f) in October when finishing runner-up, beaten a length, to Apollo One.

Trainer says

He will start off on Saturday at Salisbury in the Listed Cathedral Stakes. If that goes well, I will give him an entry in the Golden Jubilee at Royal Ascot, as he loves Ascot. He has done very well from three to four, and I am hoping for a productive season with him as such. He was second in the Bengough and isn't too far away now. He likes a stiff six furlongs or possibly an easy seven.

Form profile

Winner of two of her seven starts and currently rated 110. Ended her three-year-old campaign with a length and a half success from Night Sparkle in the Group 2 Park Hill Fillies’ Stakes at Doncaster (1m 6½f) in September. Finished last of eight, beaten 22 lengths, to See The Fire on her reappearance in the Group 2 Middleton Stakes at York (1m 2½f) last week.

Trainer says

She disappointed in the Middleton, and Jim [Crowley] said she just cut out quickly up the straight. She wears a tongue tie, so we knew there was a slight issue, but we have never seen it at the races before. She will have her wind checked this week, so plans are on hold for her at the moment.

Form profile

Placed in three of his five starts and currently rated 78. Finished third, beaten eight and a half lengths, to King’s Scholar in a 1m 4f handicap at Southwell earlier this month off his current mark.

Trainer says

He is a very well-bred horse and a full brother to Waldgeist. He was a slow learner last year, and I didn’t train him at two. He was sent to me this time last year and it was like training a big, raw two-year-old, but the penny slowly dropped as the year went on. He started over a mile and a half at Southwell but they didn’t go very fast, and we will step him up to a mile-six or two miles now. Off his mark, I would like to think we should be able to have a bit of fun with him.

Form profile

Finished third, beaten six and a half lengths, to City Of Poets in a 7f maiden at Lingfield in April.

Trainer says

She made a perfectly satisfactory start at Lingfield about three weeks ago. I have her in at Chelmsford on Thursday evening in a mile fillies’ novice, and all being well she will run there. She looks like she has come forward for her run and should go well.

Form profile

Winner of one of his three starts and currently rated 82. Off the mark on his reappearance at Windsor (1m) in April when beating Special Ghaiyyath by two and three-quarter lengths.

Trainer says

He won at Windsor three Mondays ago. He had run really well first time out at Kempton as a two-year-old, but then I ran him a bit quick when I should have put him away - he is a sort of tall, leggy horse, and it probably took more out of him than I originally thought. They have now rated him 82, so we will see if we can box away cleverly, but he needs another run and going up to guarantee he gets into the Britannia.

Form profile

Winner of one of his three starts and currently rated 86. Off the mark at Chester (1m 4½f) earlier this month when beating Orionis by a length and a quarter.

Trainer says

He won at Chester’s May meeting, and he is a sort of jumps-bred horse who has surprised me a bit. He is a very honest, genuine horse, who I thought put up a good performance at Chester. The owner is very keen to go for the Derby now, where he has been very lucky having placed with big outsiders twice before. I can’t see why he won’t act around Epsom - he will be a big price, but you never know. I think when we step him up to a mile-six, we might see a bit more improvement.

Form profile

Winner of one of her two starts. Off the mark on her reappearance at Doncaster (7f) in April when beating Invisible by a length and three quarters.

Trainer says

She was a very expensive Frankel filly who won on her reappearance at Doncaster. She goes to Leicester next week, and we are going to step her up to a mile. I have been pleased with her since, but we won’t go too mad with her and will just try to carry a penalty. She seems to be in good form since she won, and hopefully we can move her up through the ranks as the year goes on.

Form profile

Winner of both her starts and currently rated 103. Scored by five and a half lengths from Life Is Rosie in a 1m ½f fillies’ maiden at Wolverhampton in November and built on that effort on her reappearance in the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket (1m 2f) earlier this month, when scoring by three and a quarter lengths from Life Is Beautiful.

Trainer says

She obviously won the Pretty Polly on Guineas Sunday, and the form was franked by Ed Walker’s filly Qilin Queen, who won a Listed race at Newbury. She is a very talented filly and is in the Oaks, but that might be a step too far over a mile and a half. She is also in the French Oaks, but we might even discuss dropping her back to a mile. I haven’t got a set plan for her yet.

Form profile

Winner of both his starts and currently rated 103. Made an impressive reappearance in a 1m 2f novice at Newbury in April when slamming Saddadd by three and a half lengths.

Trainer says

His form was franked by Saddadd, who won the London Gold Cup at Newbury. Unfortunately he's had a little setback, so the trials and the Derby are out, but he will be back around August time, so we have given him an Arc entry. I think he is pretty good horse, and I know Roger [Varian] really liked his and couldn’t believe we beat him.

Form profile

Winner of two of her three starts and currently rated 92. Made a winning reappearance when scoring by a length from Bermuda Longtail in a 1m fillies’ conditions race at Kempton in March. Subsequently finished fifth, beaten four and three-quarter lengths, to Kon Tiki in a Listed fillies’ stakes at York (1m) last Friday.

Trainer says

She was fifth in the Michael Seely at York, where she was just a bit keen along with Roger’s [Varian] filly Gulya, and they sort of took each other on. It was her first run on turf and she was changing her legs, and it may have also been on the quick side. She is a big girl with a knee action, so the ground wouldn’t have helped. She has an entry in the Coronation, and she is better than she showed at York. I definitely think she is a stakes filly, but we will just look after her now whilst the ground is very quick.

Form profile

Winner of one of his five starts and currently rated 72. Off the mark with a length victory from Monomyth in a 5f handicap at Lingfield in February off a mark of 69.

Trainer says

He won in the winter before disappointing at Chelmsford in February time, but for what reason I couldn’t tell you. I have given him a bit of a break, but he is back in work now. He is a July Sales entry, so we will try and get him out a couple of times before the sales. He is a nice, fun horse for the owner who bred him.

Form profile

Made a winning debut at Doncaster (7f) in April when beating Sea Force by a neck.

Trainer says

He won a nice novice at Doncaster in April. He is a nice, big horse who I have given a bit of time to. If we get a drop of rain, there is another seven-furlong novice up at Doncaster on Derby Day that I will have a look at. He could potentially be a nice horse, but I will be pretty patient with him.

Form profile

Winner of one of her two starts. Made a winning debut in a 7f fillies’ novice at Newmarket in November, when scoring by a neck from Bridget’s View, before finishing runner-up, beaten three quarters of a length, to Al Joory in a similar event at Kempton (7f) on her reappearance last Thursday.

Trainer says

I thought she ran a blinder the other night at Kempton, carrying a penalty and being drawn in stall 13. We will get a mark on Tuesday, and I potentially wouldn’t mind getting a run into her later in the month to get her into the Sandringham. Whether we go for another novice or stick her in a handicap, we will see, but obviously for Royal Ascot we have to have that third run.

Form profile

Finished eighth, beaten six and a quarter lengths, to Sixtygeesbaby on his debut at Doncaster (6f) in April.

Trainer says

He ran alright at Doncaster in April, but he has been a bit of a slow learner. He has come forward for that though, and again he would like some softer ground. We could look at the all-weather with him or wait for a drop of rain somewhere.

Form profile

Winner of one of her three starts and currently rated 88. Finished fourth, beaten three lengths, behind My Margie in a 1m fillies’ handicap at Southwell in April off her current mark.

Trainer says

She was fourth at Southwell the other week, which didn’t really pan out for her, and I think she wants to be going up in trip now. She won at Sandown and then finished fifth on her second start in a Listed race at Newmarket. She is now rated 88, and I always felt she was a nice filly. It was very soft when she ran at Sandown, and she is another waiting to see if we get some rain, so we don’t have a plan as yet. I would like to get some black type with her, and a mile-and-a-quarter handicap might suit. The Golden Gates at Royal Ascot could come under consideration.

Form profile

Finished fourth, beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Comical Point on his debut at Salisbury (5f) last Thursday.

Trainer says

He had his first start at Salisbury. He ran alright, but he just got trapped a little wide and everything was happening a bit quick for him. He hit the ridges as well, but he has been pleasing at home, though none of mine have been galloping on the grass at home. We will step him up to six furlongs next time, and he should win some races.

Form profile

Finished 16th of 18, beaten 13½ lengths, behind Humidity in a 6f maiden at Newbury earlier this month.

Trainer says

He ran at Newbury last Friday and just got a little keen in the early section of the race. Jim [Crowley] thought he was going to run a respectable race two and a half down, but he just got a bit tired. He will come forward massively for that, but he isn't overly big and may have just been a little intimidated. We could have a bit of fun with him in nurseries at some stage.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

It is early days, and she won’t be ready until June time, but she is Shadwell filly and Jim [Crowley] had a sit on her on Friday morning.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is a Waldgeist filly owned by Newsells Park, who should also be ready in early June. The rest of the two-year-olds are just cantering away.
