"Won the Cambridgeshire last year with a really solid performance. We stepped him up in trip in the Winter Derby and while I think he gets a mile and a quarter, the track didn't suit. He could go for the Earl of Sefton at Newmarket next. 31-03-26"

"He has always looked a nice colt and I expected him to go well on his debut, which he did when finishing second to Cogitate at Newbury over 7f. That did him a lot of good and we sent him back there over a mile on Friday, when he finished third. We'll have to sit down and see where he goes next. 25-08-23"

"He had another good winter season in Dubai and we brought him back early to try to get a nice summer out of him. If he gets invited to Hong Kong, he could go out there for the Mile, otherwise there's a Listed race at Ascot in early May. He's come back in serious form. 31-03-26"

"He raised a few eyebrows last year when making a winning debut in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot. I won't say I wasn't pleasantly surprised, but I would not have run him in the race if I did not think he was smart. He subsequently ran big races in Group company without getting his head in front again. On his final run in the Futurity Stakes people labelled him as a lairy horse, but I think he is more of a lazy colt. I think the combination of being in front too soon and wearing a visor first time resulted in his odd run. His preparations for the 2,000 Guineas have not gone smoothly but we are getting there now, and his work last week was very pleasing. He's another who could go under the radar and although Auguste Rodin looks seriously smart, there are few others that frighten me. 07-05-23"

"He ran a great race on Sunday in a Group 3 in France, which was no surprise because I've never seen him looking so well. He finished off last year really strongly, winning two big handicaps, and he's more than up to running in Group races. He loves heavy ground - that's the key to him. 31-03-26"

"He's been very lightly raced and was second in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last year. He ran really well that day but picked up an injury and was out for the rest of the season. He returned in a posh handicap at Haydock over 7f on Saturday and finished fifth. We were very pleased with that. We took a chance on the ground but thankfully he's come out well. He should improve significantly as he hadn't run for a year. We'll see if he steps up to stakes races but we'll have a go at the Hunt Cup and races like that first. Physically he's a big beast and I hope he'll improve from three to four. 30-04-25"
How do odds work?The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
