"A nice surprise when winning first time out for us. We liked him as a yearling and when he came around at the horses in training sales last October we bought him. I put him in the Wokingham but I don't think he'll get in unless he wins between now and then. He's got a good deal of ability and, although he won over 6f at Pontefract, there's a chance he might get 7f. 27-05-26"

"Unfortunately he picked up an injury so he's going to be off for the first half of the season, but we're thinking he'll be back and it's not career-ending. He's sound but he's going to need time to get over what happened. We'd like to win an Ayr Gold Cup, so we'll target that and possibly the Portland. That's a fickle double, it's usually one or the other. He's a grand horse. Technically at his age he's supposed to be diminishing but he doesn't seem to be. The man who feeds him rides him and he's managed very well. He's a Hamilton specialist. It's probably going to be a bit more difficult for him now, but he's thereabouts in those top sprints. 07-05-25"

"He's a very good horse who works very well. We've not quite got it right with him as he's been placed a lot of times and it's disappointing he's only won once this year. We've probably got his trip wrong and he can be very keen. He was like that at Newbury last time when he ran a respectable race to finish sixth. He's rated 81 now and I'd like to go for the 0-80 over 7f at York in a couple of weeks. He could also go to Southwell, where they go a right gallop which helps him settle. He'll be a nice horse next year. 01-10-25"
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.
