FAYLAQ (William Haggas)
He's got a fabulous pedigree being by Dubawi out of an Arc winner in Danedream. It's a pedigree that gets better with age and while he hasn't set the world alight so far I've still got very high hopes for him.
I'm sure William Haggas has got plans for him and I expect him to be a much better horse this season.
HUKUM (Owner Burrows)
He's a three-year-old by Sea The Stars and a gorgeous-looking horse. He came from a long way back to win his maiden at Kempton last year. I'm hoping he's going to turn out to be a decent middle-distance horse.
He's got the pedigree and he's certainly got the looks so he's one I'm really looking forward to.
KHALOOSY (Roger Varian)
He's a three-year-old by Dubawi. I've not ridden him in a race yet but watched him absolutely hack up in a novice over the extended mile at Wolverhampton at the back end. He's got plenty of stamina in his pedigree so could be quite smart this season.
MOLATHAM (Roger Varian)
He won the Flying Scotsman at Doncaster which is always a good race and then he came out and disappointed on very soft ground at Newmarket which wouldn't be his cup of tea.
He's certainly a high-class horse and I'm looking forward to getting back on him.
TURJOMAAN (Roger Varian)
He's a four-year-old son of War Front and has just had the four runs. His best run is when he finished second in a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood.
He's a big strong horse and a bit of a lad but I'm very much looking forward to riding him.
