Michael Bell Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of one of his 4 starts and currently rated 78. Off the mark with a two length victory from Ilhabela Fact in his stable debut at Kempton (1m 3f) in April off a mark of 70. Only fourth, beaten 13 ½ lengths, to The City’s Phantom at Yarmouth (1m 2f) on Tuesday.

Trainer says

He was disappointing on the quicker ground at Yarmouth earlier in the week but is clearly very effective on the Polytrack. I haven’t lost faith in him I just felt we learnt a lot about him and we will look for easier ground and the All-Weather. In my opinion he remains well handicapped.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 6 starts and currently rated 97. Gained her most prestigious success in the Listed St Hugh’s Stakes at Newbury (5f) last August when beating Attagirl a head

Trainer says

She won a Stakes race at Newbury last year. She had a little setback when she got cast in her box, but she is back in exercise now and building back up. She will hopefully be ready in June.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 4 starts and currently rated 84. Gained his last success in a novice event at Salisbury (7f) in July when scoring by two lengths from Sel Maarib.

Trainer says

Adjuvant runs at Friday at Doncaster over a mile and a quarter. He had a good first season and I think he is likely to come on for the run and I’m not exactly sure what trip he wants so this should be a good fact-finding mission. I’m hoping he might get a mile and a half like his distaff side’s pedigree suggests.

Form profile

No wins from 4 starts and currently rated 65. Finished fourth, beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Mr Professor in a nursery handicap at Kempton (1m) in September off a mark of 61. Promising reappearance when fourth, beaten two and a half lengths, to Jalea Moon at Yarmouth (1m 2f) on Tuesday.

Trainer says

He ran a solid race at Yarmouth on Tuesday and the first three had all been running on the All-Weather. It was his first run of the year and, hopefully, he will take a bit of beating next time.”

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He is from the family of Bianca Nera who won the Moyglare for David Loder and he has a nice pedigree. I have had quite a few from that family that have been bred by Mr Perlman but I actually bought him as a yearling. He’s had a few things that have kept him off the track but I think he is a nice horse and one to watch out for.

Form profile

Finished runner-up in two of her 3 starts and currently rated 76. Came closest to victory when beaten a neck by Reel Rosie at Redcar (7f) in August.

Trainer says

She is a three-year-old filly by Sir Percy who worked on Wednesday morning. She is in pretty good order and ready to go. Hopefully, she will be very effective in a maiden over a mile and a quarter. We have been extremely patient with her and, hopefully, she can get her head in front sooner rather than later.

Form profile

No wins from 11 starts and currently rated 62. Finished fourth, beaten a length and a quarter, to Another Bertie at Southwell (6f) in February off his current mark. Finished third, beaten a length and a quarter, to Major Gatsby at Wolverhampton (7f) on Tuesday.

Trainer says

She is in foal, so we are actually running out of time with her, but she ran very nice race at Wolverhampton on Tuesday evening and she is a winner waiting to happen. She has another 90-days or so to run in.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 2 starts and currently rated 82. Made a winning debut in a novice event at Windsor (1m) in August when beating Nasim two lengths.

Trainer says

He runs on Friday in a handicap at Sandown. He looks a very promising horse, and it is a deepish race despite the size of the field and he is a horse of some potential who is a pleasure to train.

Form profile

No wins from 4 starts and currently rated 74. Finished seventh, beaten five and three quarter lengths to After The Rain in a handicap at Windsor (1m 2f) in April off a mark of 76.

Trainer says

She ran ok on her seasonal reappearance at Windsor and the handicapper gave her a couple of pounds relief. She is, hopefully, going to be up to winning this season as she has a nice pedigree, and I could see her getting a mile and a half.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 3 starts and currently rated 105. Off the mark with a four and a quarter length success from Auntie Margaret in a novice at Pontefract (1m 2f) in October. Creditable effort when sixth, beaten three and three quarter lengths, to El Bodegonin the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud at Saint-Cloud (1m 2f) later that month.

Trainer says

He is hopefully running in the Chester Vase. He is a horse who won his maiden very easily and then was green and raw when he ran in a Group 1 at Saint-Cloud. He is a horse who is bred to stay, has a great temperament and he’s an absolute pleasure to have in the yard. He wouldn’t want any extremes of going.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

She makes her debut at Wetherby on Sunday in the Fillies’ Maiden, and I have been pleased with her preparation. Callum Shepherd rode her on Wednesday morning, and she is a filly with a bit of potential.

Form profile

No wins from 3 starts. Finished fourth, beaten eight and a half lengths, to Tollard Royal in a novice event at Beverley (1m 1/2f) last week.

Trainer says

Heatherdown Hero has run two solid races and I am hoping he is going to develop into a nice handicapper at the season progresses.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 2 starts. Off the mark with head success from Smiling Jayne at Haydock (1m) in September.

Trainer says

Improvise is a nice filly who won her maiden last year and hasn’t been seen since. She will get a trip and if she can improve as much as her mother did from two to three we will be in business.

Form profile

Unplaced in both starts and finished fifth, beaten 18 ½ lengths, to Savvy Victory latest at Pontefract (1m 2f) this month.

Trainer says

King Eagle fluffed his lines on his reappearance at Pontefract, but he had done some pleasing working going into it and hopefully we will see a different horse next time.

Form profile

No wins from 4 starts and currently rated 72. Finished fourth, beaten a length and three quarters, to Haunted Dream in a handicap at Beverley (1m 2f) last week off her current mark.

Trainer says

He ran a good race on his seasonal reappearance at Beverley where I don’t think he was totally suited by the track. I have my eye on a race for him at Salisbury on May 12. He will win his share of races.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 4 starts and currently rated 59. Made a winning handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m 5 1/2f) this month when beating Satanic Moon three quarters of a length.

Trainer says

He won first time out on his handicap debut at Chelmsford and goes to Wetherby on Sunday where he should be very competitive. He stays well and has a very good temperament.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 2 starts. Off the mark with a length and a quarter success from Lir Speciale in a novice event at Kempton (6f) in March.

Trainer says

Morag McCullagh runs in a listed race at Chelmsford on April 28. She is a full sister to James Garfield so if we can get some black type it would be much appreciated up in the village of Stetchworth.

Form profile

Made a very promising debut in a maiden fillies’ event at Newbury (7f) on Sunday when runner-up, beaten a length and a quarter, to First Nightingale.

Trainer says

She made an eyecatching debut at Newbury on Sunday. She wasn’t suited by the slower pace but if she can build on that she is a readymade winner and might make up into a Pattern performer.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 2 starts. Off the mark with a head success from Oheka at Redcar (1m) in October.

Trainer says

Present Moment could reappear in the Michael Seely at York or in a similar type of race around that time. She had a little health scare in the middle of April, but we are over that now and she will be ready in the middle of May. She is a filly we think a bit of.

Form profile

No wins from 3 starts and currently rated 77. Finished runner-up, beaten a length and a quarter, to Astral Beau in a novice event at Leicester (7f) in April. Again finished runner-up, beaten a length and a quarter, to New Pursuit at Epsom (1m 1/2f) on Tuesday.

Trainer says

He has run two very good races in defeat this season finishing second in both starts. He was a tad outpaced at Epsom earlier in the week but got the hang of it in the last quarter of a mile and finished best of all. It looks like a further step up in trip will be appreciated. We have the option of going for a maiden or handicap, but he is a horse with an eyecatching upward profile.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 5 starts and currently rated 87. Made a winning reappearance at Southwell (6f) in January when beating Fearless Angel two lengths off a mark of 81.

Trainer says

He got us off the mark for the season at Southwell in January and he is being earmarked for the Palace Of Holyrood House Handicap at Royal Ascot. I am not sure if he is going to run before that or not be we very much have that as a target.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

He has a beautiful pedigree and is one for later on. The dam is a half-sister to a Stakes winner who is a half-sister to a Guineas winner so it’s a proper page and he goes well.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

She is a Night Of Thunder filly out of a decent racemare and she will appreciate seven furlongs but she looks nice.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

He could run on Saturday or wait for Monday. We bought him very recently and I don’t regret advising the owner to buy him. He looks a potential Royal Ascot two-year-old.

Form profile

Finished fourth, beaten six and a half lengths, to Tajalla on her debut at Newmarket (5f) last week.

Trainer says

She ran ok on her debut at Newmarket last week and hopefully can build on that.

Form profile

Finished sixth, beaten five lengths, to Dare To Hope on his debut at Nottingham (5f) last week.

Trainer says

He ran a solid enough race on his debut at Nottingham last week, but he will appreciate further in time.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

He is a well-bred horse by Kingman out of Miss Marjurie who was picked up relatively cheaply as a yearling and I wouldn’t send him back at this stage.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

I trained the dam and we bought him as a yearling. He is pleasing us at home.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is a nice filly by Showcasing and the dam is two out of two and has produced a Stakes horse. We like what we see.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She cost plenty at the Breeze-Ups for the Gredleys and looks to have settled in very well and we are happy with her.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

Middleham Park bought a Havana Grey filly, and she has settled in extremely well. She won’t take long to come to hand at all.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is another who came from the Breeze-Ups and has settled in very well. Given how strong the Sale was I think she was quite well bought.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He is an early foal and despite the fact he has a staying pedigree he doesn’t look backward. I could see him being a second half of the season two-year-old.
