Form profile

Winner of four of his eight starts and currently rated 104. Finished sixth, beaten five and a quarter lengths, to Hamish in the Group 3 John Porter Stakes at Newbury (1m4f) earlier this month.

Trainer says

He obviously had a good year last season, winning four times, and I was pleased with his comeback in the John Porter. He was a little rusty and will come on for that, and I would think he is capable of winning at stakes level, with his optimum conditions probably being over a mile and a half and with a little cut in the ground. He is a horse that will hopefully continue to progress.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 11 starts and currently rated 92. Cracking effort in a valuable handicap at York (2m½f) last August to finish runner-up, beaten a neck, to Forza Orta off a mark of 84.

Trainer says

He was very consistent last year and has been gelded over the winter. We've just had a little niggle with him - he was supposed to have a prep run for the Chester Cup last week. He is back cantering and is still on schedule for the Chester Cup, albeit without a prep run, but it is going to be a tough ask. He will be in all the decent staying races, and the Ascot Stakes Handicap will also be on the agenda. He is a lovely horse, he stays well, and he should have a good season.

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 24 starts and currently rated 117. Made a winning reappearance in the Group 3 Sagaro Stakes at Ascot (2m) last May before adding to that success when beating Courage Mon Ami by a length and a half in the Group 2 Lonsdale Stakes at York (2m½f) in August. Only 12th of 15, beaten 22 lengths, to Tower Of London in the Group 2 Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan (2m) on his return in March.

Trainer says

He has been a bit disappointing after a stellar first half of last season, winning both the Sagaro Stakes at the Lonsdale Cup. Since the Lonsdale, he has put in a disappointing performance in the Doncaster Cup, and then it was very soft ground at Ascot. I don’t think he flowered in the Dubai Gold Cup last time, but we know he likes Ascot, so he will run in the Sagaro again - we will see if the fire is still there.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 12 starts and currently rated 94. Best effort last year when scoring by a length and three quarters from Shouldvebeenaring on All-Weather Champions Day at Newcastle (6f) in April last year. Finished last of 12, beaten 17 lengths, to Ferrous in a handicap at Kempton (6f) on his reappearance earlier this month off a mark of 97.

Trainer says

He had a good season last year, and he probably just needed the run last time after being drawn very wide and getting a bad trip round. He will come on for that, and we are putting him in the six-furlong sprint at Newmarket at the Guineas meeting.

Form profile

Winner of three of his seven starts and currently rated 85. Completed a hat-trick when beating Bulldog Spirit by four and a quarter lengths in a handicap at Goodwood (1m4f) in June off a mark of 80. Finished sixth, beaten four and three quarter lengths, to Two Brother in a handicap at Thirsk (1m4f) earlier this month off a mark of 85.

Trainer says

I thought he ran better than it looked at Thirsk the other day on his comeback, but that blew the cobwebs away and he found his form when we stepped him up in trip and put the visor on. I hope he is still ahead of the handicapper in terms of his ability, and there are more races to be won with him.

Form profile

Winner of three of her 10 starts and currently rated 90. Finished third, beaten three lengths, to Prince Alex on her reappearance in a handicap at Newbury (2m½f) earlier this month off her current mark.

Trainer says

She ran a nice comeback race at Newbury last week. She stays really well and is in the Chester Cup. She may not get a run in that but there is at least a consolation race, and then I am hoping she might get a run in the Ascot Stakes Handicap.

Form profile

Winner of one of his three starts and currently rated 90. Off the mark in a novice event at Ascot (1m4f) last October when beating Scenic by five and a half lengths.

Trainer says

Hampden Park has been beset with a problem since winning at Ascot, but he is back cantering now and is about to start fast work. He has a high level of ability and is a late developer that has needed some minding, but he will hopefully have a good year.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 10 starts and currently rated 98. Finished fourth, beaten eight and a quarter lengths, to Dubai Honour on her reappearance in the Listed Magnolia Stakes at Kempton (1m2f) in April.

Trainer says

She showed really good form in parts last year. She was highly tried as well, running in the likes of the Ribblesdale, while her run in the Group 3 Prix Penelope at Saint-Cloud was fairly good. I thought she ran as well as could be expected first time out this year. She still hasn’t come into her coat, but I would hope she would be capable of winning a Listed race at Nottingham next week or at Goodwood next weekend. She should have a good season, and it would be nice to win a Listed contest with her.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 12 starts and currently rated 111. Finished last of nine, beaten 39 lengths, to Ottoman Fleet in the Group 3 Earl Of Sefton at Newmarket (1m1f) earlier this month.

Trainer says

He was desperately disappointing in the Earl Of Sefton, so he has come back and is having a full MOT to see what caused that performance. He was never moving well at Newmarket, but hopefully we can put that right and move towards the Wolferton at Royal Ascot.

Form profile

Winner of three of her eight starts and currently rated 97. Finished 16th, beaten 22 lengths, to Mr Professor in the Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster (1m) on her reappearance in March off a mark of 98.

Trainer says

She won at Listed level and was Group-placed last year. She is a high-class filly when conditions are in her favour, and I think she needed the run from every angle in the Lincoln. She seems to have come on a lot for that and I am hoping she can be very competitive next time, but we have no fixed plan as of yet.

Form profile

Winner of one of his two starts. Impressed when scoring by five lengths from Tribal Star in a maiden at Newmarket (1m2f) on his second start last October.

Trainer says

He is a horse we have big hopes for, and we are hoping he could turn out to be a Derby contender. His work had been excellent but 10 days ago he suffered a setback, which is going to put him out for a month, so we are having to realign his agenda. I would think we will be working back from the St Leger, but he is a lovely horse and definitely one to keep an eye on.

Form profile

Winner of one of his three starts and currently rated 85. Off the mark with a nose success from Colour Code in a maiden at Kempton (7f) in February and subsequently fourth, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Notable Speech in a conditions event at Kempton (1m) the following month.

Trainer says

I think he is a well-handicapped horse based on what he has achieved so far. He is lovely and is going to stay a mile in time, and may even develop into a Britannia Handicap horse.

Form profile

Winner of two of his six starts and currently rated 103. Gained his most important success in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury (6f) in September when beating Mister Sketch by half a length. Subsequently seventh of eight, beaten 12½ lengths, to City Of Troy in the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket (7f) in September.

Trainer says

He was a high-class two-year-old and won the Mill Reef at Newbury. Unfortunately he suffered a setback in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket, and he won’t be seen out until the second half of the season. He will probably be running in those good seven-furlong races, and he is a horse we think a lot of. He was significantly lame behind after the Dewhurst and has had another little setback since then, so we are just going to take our time with him.

Form profile

Winner of two of his five starts and currently rated 92. Off the mark on his final start as a two-year-old when beating Inisherin by half a length and stepped up on that effort to beat Defiance by three quarters of a length in the Listed Blue Riband Trial at Epsom (1m2f) last Tuesday.

Trainer says

We were delighted with his win in the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom and the plan now is to go straight for the Derby. We know he handles the track, I’m pretty sure he will stay, and he is certainly in the mix for the places. He has ticked a lot of boxes, so we don’t see the point in running him again before the Derby.

Form profile

Winner of one of his five starts and currently rated 83. Off the mark on his reappearance in a handicap at Kempton (1m) in March when beating Beauty Generation by a length and a half, and then slowly away when only sixth, beaten seven and a quarter lengths, to Watcha Matey in a handicap at Newmarket (1m) earlier this month off his current mark.

Trainer says

He was disappointing at Newmarket but that was a funny old race - he rather blew his chance at the start and then had to make up ground to try and get involved. He is better than that, and we will look at trying him over a mile and a quarter to see if stays.

Form profile

Winner of a novice on his debut at Kempton (1m3f) in March when beating Imperial Sovereign by a head.

Trainer says

He won well on debut and is a fine, big horse. His half-brother Saint George ended up finishing second in the Queen’s Vase, and I am hoping he is going to go the same route. His next run will be in another novice with a penalty, and we will take it from there.

Form profile

Scored by a short-head from Hidden Law on his debut in a novice at Southwell (1m3f) in March.

Trainer says

He is another who won on debut and is a beautifully-bred horse. The horse he beat has since won impressively at Newbury, so we might have a look at running him in a trial. He isn't in the Derby, but I hope he might be a Royal Ascot three-year-old - we will look at a trial and take it from there.

Form profile

Better effort on her reappearance at Newbury (1m) earlier this month when third, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Economics.

Trainer says

She ran very well at Newbury last week. She had been off the track a little while but showed plenty, and that was what we were expecting from her first time out really. She is a talented filly with a big future.

Form profile

Winner of one of his four starts and currently rated 85. Off the mark on his reappearance at Lingfield (1m) in April when beating Operate by a length and a quarter.

Trainer says

He won really nicely on his reappearance this year, and I think he has improved a huge amount for being gelded. He might go to Newmarket for a mile and a quarter handicap there, and I would hope the step up in trip will help. He should have a good year.

Form profile

Off the mark on her second start at Beverley (5f) in September when beating Reprised by a length and a quarter, and currently rated 76.

Trainer says

She won last year on very heavy ground, and she has done very well physically over the winter. I think she has improved, and we are looking forward to getting her season going at Wolverhampton on Saturday.

Form profile

Winner of one of his five starts and currently rated 83. Finished fifth, beaten 14 lengths, to Adaay In Devon in a handicap at Bath (5f) earlier this month off a mark of 84.

Trainer says

He is declared to run on Friday at Sandown after disappointing first time out, but I think he just didn’t get home on the ground. I think he is a well-handicapped horse based on what he does at home, and I hope he can get back on track.

Form profile

Off the mark on his second start in a novice at Southwell (7f) in September when beating American Glory by three quarters of a length.

Trainer says

He won nicely at Southwell but is still a raw horse with a lot of developing to do, though he should still have a good season - he will step up to a mile.

Form profile

Winner of one of her seven starts and currently rated 101. Off the mark with a four-length victory from Juniper Berries in a conditions event at Goodwood (5f) in August, and then placed in Group company when runner-up, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Big Evs in the Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster (5f) in September.

Trainer says

She had a solid season last year. She is just into fast work now and I am hoping she will be ready to run at the Dante meeting at York, but if not shortly after.

Form profile

Winner of one of his four starts and currently rated 84. Off the mark on his reappearance at Kempton (6f) in March when scoring by a length and a half from Sky Wizard, and subsequently last of three, beaten six and a half lengths, to Jubilee Walk in a handicap at Kempton (6f) earlier this month as 8-13 favourite.

Trainer says

He is a horse we think a lot of, but for some reason he was desperately disappointing last time out. There were apparent reasons, as he came back a little bit stiff behind, but it was too bad to be true and we can put a line through it. We are looking forward to getting him back out in mid-May and seeing him follow on the form he showed first time out this year.

Form profile

Placed third in both starts. Beaten only three quarters of a length by Sinology in a fillies’ maiden at Newbury (1m2f) on her reappearance earlier this month.

Trainer says

She ran a really good race at Newbury after being very slow to come into her coat. She travelled really well and looks as if she will turn into a nice staying type this year. We will look at Chester options for her, as she has a couple of races open to her there, and she should have a very good season.

Form profile

Winner of two of his six starts and currently rated 104. Ended his first season with a three-quarter-length success from Esquire in the Listed Rockingham Stakes at York (6f) last October.

Trainer says

He was a very smart sprinter last year and his form is rock solid. His work has been good this year and it looks like he has trained on grand. He will either go to Ascot next Wednesday or to the Duke Of York, and we very much hope he is going to develop into a Commonwealth Cup horse.

Form profile

Winner of two of his three starts and currently rated 86. Made a winning debut at Sandown (7f) in August when scoring by a nose from Colorada Dancer, and added to that victory in a handicap at Kempton (1m) in October when beating Blown Away by half a length off a mark of 82.

Trainer says

He runs at Sandown on Friday and we really like him - he’s a grand horse. He should run well, and if he stays a mile and a quarter he could develop into a nice type.

Form profile

Winner of one of her two starts. Off the mark in a fillies' novice at Lingfield (1m) in October when beating Climate Action by a length and a quarter.

Trainer says

She won well last time at Lingfield and there are slightly mixed messages in her pedigree as to how far she will stay. I am pretty confident she will stay a mile and a quarter, and she is going to run at Sandown with a penalty, which is quite difficult, but if she can do something with that then she is capable of running in a stakes race. She is a filly we like a lot, and hopefully she can have a good season.

Form profile

Winner of one of her three starts and currently rated 108. Made a winning debut at Newmarket (7f) in August when beating Heartfullofstars by a length and a half. Subsequently finished runner-up, beaten three lengths, to Darnation in the Group 2 May Hill Stakes at Doncaster in September, and then third, beaten a length and a quarter, to Ylang Ylang in the Group 1 Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket (1m) in October.

Trainer says

She is our big hope amongst the three-year-olds and goes straight for the 1000 Guineas. She is a beautifully-bred filly who works very well, and I am very happy with her. I think she has a live chance in the Guineas.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He is a horse we like a lot who is unraced. He has had a few niggles but we are getting there now, and he looks an exciting type. I would have thought he will start over seven furlongs.

Form profile

Winner of one of her three starts and currently rated 88. Off the mark in a fillies' novice at Kempton (7f) last November when beating Tiaraqueen by a length and a quarter, before finishing fifth, beaten seven lengths, to Folgaria in the Group 3 Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury (7f) earlier this month.

Trainer says

She was a little disappointing in the Fred Darling, but perhaps we were expecting too much, though I did think she would run better than she did. It wasn’t disastrous, and she now has a mark of 88, which seems fair, so we will just go back to basics and try to get her head in front again.

Form profile

Runner-up, beaten half a length, to Dance Sequence on her only start in a fillies' maiden at Newmarket (7f) last July.

Trainer says

She has been off for a little while but is due to make her reappearance at Doncaster on Friday. She has plenty of class and should have a good season ahead of her.

Form profile

Winner of one of her three starts and currently rated 80. Off the mark with a two-and-three-quarter-length success from Beatrice Shilling in a fillies’ novice at Leicester (1m) last October before finishing sixth, beaten four and three quarter lengths, to Voyage in a novice at Newbury (1m2f) on her reappearance earlier this month.

Trainer says

She was disappointing at Newbury but it was a tough ask carrying a penalty against the boys. She just didn’t quite see out the mile and a quarter like I'd hoped she would, so we will be looking to drop her back in trip. She is a nice filly and is well up to winning races moving forward.
