- New trainer from Italy in 2006. His father and uncle have been champion trainer there around 30 times. Made a solid impact in his first season in Britain including a Group 3 success with Sesmen. An indication of the good impression he made when Rabah Bloodstock (the new venture managing horses for friends and associates of the Maktoum family) announced they would be sending him three 2yos to train in 2007.
- The 2007 season was less successful than might have been expected and he seems to require the horses to be very ready for debut and not to run them unless they are. He had spent two years as pupil assistant to David Loder as he acquired experience and that trainer had a very similar approach. He tended not to run horses until they were ready to show a large part of their ability on debut.
- 2008-9 did not the produce kind of improvement in results that his initial start promises. Only one debut win in the last two seasons hints at either a change in debut preparation or a mostly limited set of athletes in those two years.
