FEBRUARY REVIEW
The team have continued in tremendous form, with 11 winners added this month at a strike-rate of 37%.
Regal Ulixes had run creditably in defeat on his return to action at Newcastle in January on his first start since being gelded. That outing clearly proved beneficial, as he recorded a career-best effort when scoring in great style in a competitive handicap at Lingfield Park in the hands of Rob Hornby. He should remain very competitive off his new mark and looks an obvious contender for AW Finals Day.
All Moonshine is quickly developing into a useful filly, the beautifully-bred daughter of Oasis Dream getting the hat-trick up at Kempton Park on handicap debut, with Oisin Murphy on board. She has been handed a 7lbs rise, which will make life tougher, but is clearly very progressive.
Spanish Voice had beaten some subsequently useful colts when scoring at Newmarket last April but had been off since, so it was very pleasing to see him making a winning reappearance under Callum Hutchinson, justifying long odds-on favouritism in novice company at Lingfield Park. The son of Lope De Vega has plenty of ability and is a bright prospect for the season ahead, as is fellow novice winner Exmoor, who pulled well clear with a well-bred newcomer when winning at Newcastle under P J McDonald and looks one to follow in the months ahead.
Tiger Power had made a winning debut in late summer prior to a good effort under a penalty, but took a step forwards on his return with a taking win at Southwell under P J McDonald, defying the penalty with plenty to spare. A mark of 85 looks fair and he is an interesting sort for the turf this spring.
Factual made it two wins from three starts with a game front-running success at Newcastle, with Callum Hutchinson on board. He should stay further than the seven furlongs and it was a useful performance under the penalty, so he looks one for some of the nice three-year-old handicaps this term, as does Silent Strike, who was another to win from the front with Callum doing the steering, scoring at Kempton Park in promising fashion.
Breathe Easy remains unbeaten in 2026 following two wins already this year, supplementing his Kempton maiden success with a game effort on handicap debut at Southwell, under a strong ride from Callum Hutchinson. He has been nudged up 3lbs and should make a very bold bid for the hat-trick.
Comic Hero made a winning return from seven months off to score on his first start since being gelded, making the most of a very good opportunity at Kempton Park with Callum Hutchinson doing the steering. He is a nice prospect who can make his mark in handicap company off what looks a fair opening rating.
Maria Da Silva made it two from two for the year with a winning handicap debut at Newcastle under Jason Watson, three weeks on from her maiden success at the same course. She ran creditably on her next outing and is now having a break, but should continue to acquit herself well on her return.
Berkshire Schmokin built on his reappearance fourth with a comfortable win on his second start in handicap company at Wolverhampton, with Jason Watson on board. He remains on a very workable mark and should have more to offer.
