Epic Express won at Kempton before signing off 2021 with a respectable third back there. He was sixth in his comeback run and then made all to win by a length at Great Yarmouth.

Global Esteem paid his way last year, winning handicaps at Ascot and Yarmouth. He ran very well in a Conditions race on his seasonal debut before disappointing back at Southwell. The early pace was very hot as he locked horns with another front runner and we hope to see more from him next time, once we have freshened him up.

She is by Australian Champion sprinter and Champion sire Fastnet Rock and out of Galileo mare Raggety Ann who is a full-sister to Grade 3 winner and Black Type producer Dress Rehearsal. It is a proven cross as Fastnet Rock has had numerous Group 1 winners when he has covered mares by Galileo. Oaks winner Qualify, Moyglare winner Intricately, Racing Post Trophy winner Rivet and Man o'War Stakes winner Zhukova. 18% of progeny by Fastnet Rock that have been covered by mares from the Sadler's Wells line have gone on to be Black Type winners. She is a big imposing filly who we hope to have out before the end of May.

The son of Scat Daddy shot up 24 pounds in 2021 and ended the season rated 94 after winning 4 times and finishing second in the valuable handicap at Sandown. He ran a pleasing racing on his first start of the year at Newbury when beaten just under 2 lengths into 4th in what looked a strong race. We would love to run him in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot but need to get his rating up by 3 to 4 pounds over his next couple of starts.

This filly is out of the 6f Listed winner Katawi. Her half-sister Split Then Double went very close at Belmont and looked a winner in waiting. Her sire Iffraaj is a proven Group 1 producer and has had a lot of success with his two-year-old runners. Her best run last year was at Nottingham when she was third in a Novice but we hope she has not shown her best yet. She has had a long Winter break and won't be seen until the end of the summer.

A son of Caravaggio who is bred to be fast. Freshman sire Caravaggio was unbeaten at two and won the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, before going on to win the Commonwealth Cup at three. His dam Much Faster was a Group 2 winner over 5 1/2f at two and was Group 1 placed over 6f. She has produced 4 horses with an RPR of 90 plus. He looks like he will develop into a fine, strong horse. On pedigree he looks like he will be all about speed but he has a big stride on him so he may get further than his breeding suggests. He has shown a little promise in a couple of starts and we hope he is a horse who will improve over time given his size.

London Eye won twice on the flat and once over hurdles last year. He will continue to mix both codes this year and we are likely to try him over a fence in the summer months. He has run a couple of respectable races over hurdles and on the flat when finishing 4th. He will likely have one more over hurdles before heading over a fence.

Sir Oliver had a fantastic 2021, winning for us 5 times, twice on the all-weather at Lingfield and Wolverhampton and three times on the turf at the downs of Brighton and Epsom. He has done nothing but improve since being stepped up to 7f and his last win of the year was a career  best which saw his all-weather rating move up to a career high of 89. His second start of the year was encouraging as he ran a close third to a smart type. He suffered a frustrating injury out on the heath which has stopped him from running on Finals Day and at Chester but we hope he will be back in the near future.

Thaki has thrived since joining us and won 4 times, moving from a rating of 47 up to 68. The handicapper appears to have caught up with him to a degree but he was a promising third at Yarmouth at a meeting where every horse was making all on the straight course, there is more fun to be had with him this year.

World of Windhover won twice for us last year. He won on his first start of the year over 5f at Great Yarmouth. We feel he will improve further over 6f and he heads to Ascot next for a 6f handicap in early May.
