Aletoile (2018-Sea The Stars/Alamode)

Owner - Strawberry Fields Stud

Epic Express won at Kempton before signing off 2021 with a respectable third back there. He won at Yarmouth making all earlier in the season and after a couple of disappointing runs, we hope he will show some sparkle when he's next out.

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 made a pleasing start to her racing career when 6th at Kempton, she will head back there next week and we hope she can build on her debut.

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 and whilst he has been a very slow learner, the penny started to drop when he won at Kempton on handicap debut over 7f. He look like he will stay further and should be a fun horse for the rest of the season.

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 was a good second on his latest start at Southwell over 2m4f and he will be a fun horse to run during the summer jumping campaign.

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 was then 2nd in a valuable handicap at Chelmsford before showing a great attitude when winning there recently. He heads to Chester tomorrow and looks to have a solid each way chance.

Thaki has thrived since joining us and won 5 times, moving from a rating of 47 up to 70. His most recent win was at Newcastle where he did well to win having had to switch to the stands side when denied a clear run, he has done nothing but improve and has been a great horse to have in the yard.

Walk In The Rain is by champion Sprinter Muhaarar, out of Sprinkling, a Quality Road mare from a Juddmonte family who showed ability in both her starts over middle distances. He will get going in early July and looks like a horse who has the ability to perform at two but his pedigree suggests he will improve with time.

World of Windhover won twice for us last year. He won on his first start of the year over 5f at Great Yarmouth. Things have not gone to plan in two competitive handicaps since and we will run him over 6f at Kempton next week.
