George Boughey Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of four of his 13 starts and currently rated 86. Gained his last win at Newcastle (1m) in March when beating Flying Fletcher by a head off a mark of 82. Subsequently finished unplaced, beaten 17 lengths, behind Mezcala in a 1m handicap at Doncaster in March off a mark of 87.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse, and things didn’t go his way at Doncaster on ground that he found too tacky. I think there’s still plenty left, and on fast ground he can get back to winning ways. He did look progressive before his Doncaster effort.

Form profile

Winner of two of his four starts and currently rated 90. Scored by two lengths over Bulletin in a 1m ½f handicap at Epsom in April of last year off a mark of 81 on his sole outing.

Trainer says

Celeborn has been off the track since last spring, but we have been delighted with his work this time around. He’s a nice horse, and we’ve been targeting his return for the Guineas meeting or the Chester May meeting for a long time. He probably wants to get his toe in a little bit, but he’s in great shape and a mile/ten furlongs will suit him.

Form profile

Winner of four of his nine starts and currently rated 100. Finished fifth, beaten six and a quarter lengths, behind Gamrai on his seasonal reappearance at Kempton (1m 3f) in March off his current mark.

Trainer says

He was a fraction disappointing in the Rosebery the other day, but he was drawn wide and had a very interrupted passage down the straight. He’s a horse who I think, on a big galloping track, will be a better horse this year. He now looks the finished article, and he’s an exciting horse to have.

Form profile

Winner of two of his six starts and currently rated 101. Placed in three of his four starts last season, coming closest to winning when finishing runner-up, beaten a short head, to Spinning Wheel in a 1m 4f handicap at Leicester in October off a mark of 97.

Trainer says

He was a progressive horse last year before finding heavy ground in the November Handicap way too soft for him. He’s been gelded since, and we’re not in a huge rush with him. He’s a horse who wants a mile and a half on a big galloping track, and we could try and get him to the Guineas meeting. There is a nice handicap for him, but the middle of the summer is where we want to see him at his best, and he could be one for the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot in June.

Form profile

Winner of two of her seven starts and currently rated 87. Made a winning reappearance at Wolverhampton (6f) in April of last year when scoring by three quarters of a length over Powdering off a mark of 85.

Trainer says

She had a sort-of setback last summer and wasn’t quite herself in the autumn, but she looks fantastic now. Her work has been good, and I’m glad we have kept her in training for another year. She’ll head to the Guineas meeting for a fillies’ handicap there.

Form profile

Winner of five of her 13 starts and currently rated 108. Returned to winning form when beating Magic Basma by a length and a half in a Listed fillies’ event at Pontefract (6f) in August before following up with a three-length success over Daylight in a Group 3 at Deauville (6f) later that same month.

Trainer says

She’s a progressive filly who could head for the Listed fillies’ stakes over six furlongs at Newmarket. She won a Listed race at Pontefract and a Group 3 at Deauville, and we had supplemented her for the Champions Sprint at Ascot but she bruised a foot, which was hugely disappointing as she was in great shape. I think in an open-looking sprint division, she is one to keep onside.

Form profile

Winner of one of his four starts and currently rated 91. Runner-up in her first three outings but off the mark at the fourth attempt when beating Something Splendid by four lengths in a 7f novice at Southwell in October 2024.

Trainer says

Shah missed all of last year and we didn’t need to run him on the all-weather, so we gave him an extra-long break. He was second in the Convivial maiden at York at two, and he’s now back working and working well. I think he can be a lot of fun through the handicap system.

Form profile

Winner of one of her five starts and currently rated 96. A winner off a 1m 2f fillies’ maiden at the Curragh in May when trained by Donnacha O’Brien, beating Mitten by a length and a quarter, and ran another notable race when finishing runner-up, beaten half a length, to Emit in a Listed contest at Gowran Park (1m 4f) in July.

Trainer says

She is a nice filly who hasn’t been with us long, having been bought at the Mares’ Sale. She could start off in a mile-and-a-half Listed race at Goodwood on Guineas weekend. She comes with a nice profile from a good stable, so hopefully we can continue on with her.

Form profile

Winner of four of her 16 starts and currently rated 112. Made a winning debut for the stable at Lingfield (1m 2f) at the end of January when scoring by two and three-quarter lengths over Military Academy. Finished fourth, beaten two and three-quarter lengths, behind Pina Sonata in a Listed fillies’ event at Kempton (1m) in March.

Trainer says

She ran a huge race in Saudi to finish third behind Royal Champion. She didn’t go to Dubai, but we instead dropped her back in distance in the Snowdrop at Kempton. She stood in the gate for a long time and Billy [Loughnane] kind of just rode a race on her, but it proved to me that she needs a step back up in trip. She will head to the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket on May 3rd, and I’d fancy her to try and take out a big one this year.

Form profile

Having his third run, and second for the stable, when finishing fourth, beaten a length, behind Heraldry in a 1m maiden at Kempton last Wednesday.

Trainer says

He has had an interrupted career but put up a solid display at Kempton last week, and we will see what the handicapper does with him. He is a horse that could well progress in handicaps.

Form profile

Winner of one of his five starts and currently rated 89. Off the mark on his second start at Windsor (6f) in June when beating Starlight Sami by six lengths. Subsequently finished third, beaten six lengths, behind Wise Approach in the Listed Rose Bowl Stakes at Newbury (6f) in July.

Trainer says

He’s by Havana Grey and is a half-brother to a good five-furlong horse in Rumstar, but I think he actually needs to step up a stretch. He has been gelded and his work has been good this spring. I hope stepping up to seven, and possibly even a mile, might see him to better effect.

Form profile

Winner of one of her five starts and currently rated 102. Off the mark with a length-and-a-quarter success over Catching The Moon in a 6f fillies’ maiden at Leicester in July and ended season by finishing fourth, beaten three and three-quarter lengths, behind Zanthos in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket (7f) in September.

Trainer says

Awaken got back on track in the Rockfel after bombing out in the Dick Poole at Salisbury on heavy ground. She is a filly who is just coming to herself now, but she still has a way to go in her coat. She could run in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket this week and is one who could progress through the summer, so she is one to keep onside.

Form profile

Winner of one of his three starts and currently rated 80. Off the mark in a 1m 1f maiden at Yarmouth when short-heading Green Falcon. Subsequently started odds-on for a 1m 2f novice at Bath earlier this month but finished runner-up, beaten four lengths, to Colourband.

Trainer says

He was disappointing the other day at Bath and has been gelded since. He disgraced himself in the preliminaries, and Billy [Loughnane] did the right thing by just kind of minding him through the race. He is a horse that we think is well handicapped, and if he behaves himself now he has been gelded, we can have a lot of fun with him.

Form profile

Winner of all three starts and currently rated 115. Scored by four and a half lengths over Be The Standard on his debut at Newbury (1m) in August and followed up with a length success over Publish in a Listed event at Haydock (1m) the following month. Ended his first season with a length victory over Humidity in the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket (1m) at the end of September.

Trainer says

His work has been very good through the spring, and we have had a very good preparation with him. He is in great form, and we just have to put the finishing touches to his preparation for the 2000 Guineas. He’s set to gallop at Newmarket this week, and obviously at this time of the year you just hope that everything carries on in the same way. He was unbeaten as a two-year-old, and I think he could be a star performer for us - hopefully he can continue to progress.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is an unraced Night Of Thunder filly from a family that gets better with age and distance. She has just taken a bit of time to come to hand, and we haven’t done a huge amount with her. I hope that, as the warmer weather comes, she will start to get going a bit more, and she is hopefully one for mile maidens in a few weeks’ time.

Form profile

Had his third outing when starting at 125-1 and finishing ninth, beaten 21 lengths, behind Go Rimbaud in a 1m maiden at Kempton last Wednesday.

Trainer says

Bumaan hasn’t found his stride yet, but he’s a raw horse who’s still learning. He needs to pull his finger out over longer trips if he’s to be part of the team moving forward.

Form profile

Winner of both starts and currently rated 85. Scored by a neck over Hayynah on her debut in a 6f maiden at Newcastle in February and followed up with a length-and-a-half victory over Paradise Walk in a 6f fillies’ novice at Wolverhampton in March.

Trainer says

She is two-from-two this filly, and she looks like she might be getting faster. She could run in a fillies’ handicap at Sandown next week. She pleased me on her second start as she showed a real turn of foot - and to carry a penalty isn’t easy. She is a filly to keep onside, and hopefully she will have a busy summer.

Form profile

Winner of one of her four starts and currently rated 80. Finished runner-up, beaten three quarters of a length, to Siam Ruby at Wolverhampton (1m 1½f) on Thursday night on her seasonal reappearance.

Trainer says

She’s done well this winter and is a filly we hope might get further. Her work had been good, and she had a nice starting point at Wolverhampton on Thursday when only just beaten by a filly who had only just been touched off a Doncaster. She should certainly benefit from that first run.

Form profile

Winner of her only start in a 1m fillies’ maiden at Ascot in September when beating Shetalkstoangels by three and three-quarter lengths.

Trainer says

She was a filly that never really sparkled last spring, but she was a very impressive winner of her maiden at Ascot. She has just taken a bit of time this year, but she is starting to come to the boil now. We don’t have any real plans at the moment, but we will probably start her back over a mile again, though I think she’ll get 10 furlongs. She is a filly we’ve always held in high regard, so we are looking forward to getting her started.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is an unraced Postponed filly who was never really at the races last year, but she’s slowly coming to the boil now. I would like to think we can get her on the grass soon and she can keep progressing.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He is a nice horse we bought off Juddmonte recently. He is likely to start at Leicester this week - he has a super attitude and we like him.

Form profile

Winner of three of his eight starts and currently rated 100. Had three runs in Meydan in the winter before returning to winning form in a Listed race at Lingfield (7f) at the end of February when beating Bella Lyra by a length.

Trainer says

He had a winter in Dubai, where things didn’t quite fall for him, but he was back to winning ways in the Spring Cup at Lingfield. He hit the line strongly at Lingfield, and I think we are now going to try him over a mile. There are no immediate plans, but he’s certainly going the right way.

Form profile

Placed in two of her three starts and currently rated 72. Finished third, beaten two and a quarter lengths, behind Miss Scott in a 7f fillies’ maiden at Leicester in September when last seen in action.

Trainer says

Kaori was a touch disappointing last year, but she never really looked quite right, so we have just been taking our time with her this spring. She is a well-bred Dubawi filly and starts off on a nice mark, and I hope that she can get going when she’s back on the turf.

Form profile

Winner of two of her five starts and currently rated 74. Has won two of her four starts since joining the stable, gaining her latest win in a 7f handicap at Kempton in March when scoring by a short head over Saxon Prince off a mark of 73.

Trainer says

She was a touch disappointing on Finals Day at Lingfield, but she probably found the seven furlongs around there just a bit too sharp. We will look to step her up in trip, and I think there is still a bit of room off her mark.

Form profile

Winner of two of his six starts and currently rated 89. Off the mark for the stable when beating Euston Hall by three lengths in a 7f novice at Newcastle in December before following up with a two-length success over Raging Raj in a 1m handicap at Southwell in December off a mark of 81. Subsequently finished third, beaten three and a quarter lengths, behind King’s Trail at Kempton (1m) in March off his current mark on his return from a break.

Trainer says

Lake Como put in a nice effort behind a fancied horse of Charlie Appleby’s at Kempton a few weeks ago, and he could now head to the Guineas meeting for a 0-90 handicap. He is a beautiful horse who’s done nothing but progress - I think he can keep progressing through the summer.

Form profile

Winner of three of his five starts and currently rated 89. Completed a hat-trick when beating Flash Of Fire by a length and a quarter in a 1m nursery at Yarmouth in October off a mark of 87.

Trainer says

McMurray won three times last year and is a progressive horse with a super attitude. He could go to Newbury for a 0-95 handicap, and he might be one for the Esher Cup or something like that.

Form profile

Winner of one of his four starts and currently rated 90. Off the mark when beating New Monarch by two lengths in a 6½f novice at Newbury in June.

Trainer says

He wasn’t right after running in the Superlative last July. We had him in good shape going into Doncaster on the same card as McMurray, but he just wasn’t quite up to running on ground as slow as that. He has done really well in the last couple of weeks, and he strikes me as a horse that could be a bit of fun working back from the Britannia Handicap with. That time of year might be when we see him to best effect.

Form profile

Finished sixth, beaten seven and three-quarter lengths, behind Crimson Rose in a 6f fillies’ maiden at Newmarket in July.

Trainer says

She was a very weak filly last year and disappointed us on debut. She had been working with a winner but was just never quite at the races that day. She has done very well from two to three and has just started doing faster work now. She’s a few weeks away yet, but I think we should be having plenty of fun with her.

Form profile

Placed in both starts, with his best effort coming on debut at Wolverhampton (7f) in March when finishing runner-up, beaten six lengths, to Crown Relic.

Trainer says

He was disappointing when last seen, but he ran well behind a nice horse of Karl Burke’s on his debut. He could run in the Alex Scott maiden at Newmarket this week, and we will learn a bit more about him soon.

Form profile

Winner of his only start at Haydock (7f) in July when beating Look To The Stars by a length.

Trainer says

Protection Act was impressive on his debut but wasn’t quite right in the autumn, so we just minded him. He’s taken a bit of time to come to hand this spring, but he’s really started to get going now. He has an entry in the Guineas, but it’ll probably come a bit too soon for him. I hope he will get 10 furlongs, and that’s hopefully where you will see him to best effect.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She has just started doing a bit of fast work and is from the family of a Fillies & Mares Stakes winner. She’s a filly we have always liked, and although she is still some way from starting out, we are thrilled with her.

Form profile

Winner of one of her three starts and currently rated 85. Made a winning debut at Yarmouth (7f) in July when beating Conjecture by four and a quarter lengths.

Trainer says

She is filly who got very upset in the gate when last seen at Ayr. The horse next to her kicked her and it was a bit of mess towards the end of last year. She is also a filly that wants slow ground.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is a nice filly by Starman and is starting to come to hand. We hope she will run in a seven-furlong novice in the next couple of weeks.

Form profile

Winner of one of her four starts and currently rated 83. Finished fourth, beaten a length and three-quarters, on her seasonal reappearance in a Listed fillies’ event at Kempton (1m) in March.

Trainer says

On the bare bones of her run the other day, she was a little disappointing. But she was giving weight to some higher-rated animals and was only beaten a length and three-quarters. I think when we drop her back into a handicap, she looks like she can start to progress. She is a filly who is probably going to be better on turf and is one to keep on the right side of.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 11 starts and currently rated 89. Has won twice for the stable this year since joining from Fozzy Stack, gaining his latest win at Wolverhampton (7f) in February when beating Dagger Strike by three lengths off a mark of 82.

Trainer says

He is a progressive handicapper who certainly had his say during the winter. He ran with credit the other day at Musselburgh, but I think the ground was a touch too slow for him. He can still ply his trade off his current mark and should be a fun horse.

Form profile

Has finished placed in three of his five starts and currently rated 80. Finished runner-up, beaten half a length, to Laureate Crown in a 1m ½f handicap at Wolverhampton in March off a mark of 78.

Trainer says

He bumped into a well-handicapped horse of Hugo Palmer’s a couple of weeks ago. He is more than capable off his mark, and I think he is going to be a horse that will be suited by an even gallop in turf races through the summer.

Form profile

Made a winning debut at Lingfield (6f) in March when scoring by a length and a quarter over Caviar Cowboy.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse who won well on debut at Lingfield, and he is likely to go for a novice at Leicester this week under his penalty. Jack Callan will take five pounds off, and I hope he can continue to progress.

Form profile

Winner of one of her five starts and currently rated 76. Placed in her first four starts before getting off the mark at Wolverhampton (6f) in November when beating Queen Sana by a length and a quarter.

Trainer says

She is a filly who broke her maiden last year, though she was a little disappointing. Her work had always been good, and it has been good again this spring. She is a much more mature individual now, and with that maturity she can hopefully go on and progress.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is a nice filly who has been working with Havana Lightning. She isn’t quite there yet, but she has shown plenty of pace at home.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She has done everything asked of her so far and hasn’t missed a beat. She is another very good advert for the stallion and will run in the fillies’ race at Newmarket later this week.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is a very raw filly who came to us late last year, but she’s bred to get better with time. She can start over a mile, but she will get further in time. She is quite similar to Brunhilde, as she isn’t quite there yet, so we’ve just been minding her.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

Oxbridge is entered on Tuesday and is going well. He is a precocious horse for a big animal. He might start there or we might wait for the Guineas meeting. His dam won the Lily Agnes, and he is looking fairly forward at this stage.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is a Frankel family who didn’t do a huge amount last year, but she is from a late-maturing Obaid family. She is a half-sister to a Group 1-winner Royal Champion and is starting to do a little bit of fast work now. We’re not in a huge rush with her, and she should get a mile and a quarter. There are few better-bred fillies in the yard.
