Pulled up two starts since at Cheltenham (3m) in October and in a novices’ handicap chase at Doncaster (2m 7 1/2f) in December.

He had a good summer and had a few issues in the early part of this season. Hopefully, we have ironed out his issues and he can get back to winning form.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 7 starts and currently rated 116 over hurdles. Odds-on when winning novices’ hurdles at Chepstow (2m) in November and Plumpton (2m) in December.

He had good bumper form and won two novices’ hurdles. Something was amiss with him the other day at Newbury, and he will have a little break now and come back in March.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 2 starts. Scored by a length and a quarter from Thruthelookinglass in a maiden hurdle at Exeter (2m 1/2f) this month.

Trainer says

He is a very nice horse who has a big future ahead of him. He has a lot to learn and is still very green, but he ran well in his bumper and won his maiden hurdle. He will be out again in February.

He has entries and Hereford and Uttoxeter this week and is very unfortunate not to win, but his bumper form is very strong. He will be winning very soon.”

Trainer says

He has had his issues and missed a year as we had to do a bit with his wind, but he has a very big engine. He is a horse I hold in high regard.

Form profile

He ran well on his first run for us at Leicester the other day and is in at Doncaster at the weekend. I think he would have won at Market Rasen the other day if hadn’t been abandoned.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 2 bumpers. Off the mark with a three and a quarter length success from Largy Reach at Bangor in October.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse and his bumper form worked out well. We had a few issues with him, but he is back in after a break and he will enjoy the better ground when it comes, and he will go over hurdles. He should give us a bit of fun.

He is nice horse, but he will be seen to better effect when he goes over fences. He is 17 hands and a horse just coming into his frame.

She is a lovely mare who only going to improve further with more racing. She was quite green when winning at Ludlow but improved a lot and won nicely at Huntingdon. She is a mare that has a lot of potential and will go very far.

Trainer says

He is obviously Mister Fisher’s half-brother and he is an exciting horse. He has entries this week at Huntingdon but whatever he does over hurdles this time will be a bonus as he’s a chaser all round. We are just minding him a little bit and he won’t be over raced this season.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 24 starts and currently rated 131. Finished fifth, beaten 14 lengths, to Unexpected Party in a handicap hurdle at Ascot (2m 3 1/2f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

He ran at the weekend and has been very consistent this season. There is a big one in him in handicap hurdles when we get everything right and he’s a nice horse to have in the yard. He has a lot of quality and an indicative of the sort of horses we are starting to get in the yard now.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 17 starts and currently rated 107 over fences. Gained her last success when beating Jubilympics nine and a half lengths in a handicap chase at Hereford (2m 5f) in October off a mark of 104.

She will come back at the beginning of February, and we are looking to run her on the Mares’ day at Cheltenham in April. There is a big prize there and she enjoys the better ground so has had a winter break.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 9 starts and currently rated 112 over fences. Finished sixth, beaten 25 lengths, to Java Point in a novices’ handicap chase at Ludlow (2m 4f) this month off a mark of 117.

Trainer says

He had a couple of scares on his way round on his chasing bow at Ludlow but will have gained a bit of confidence from that. He won a nice maiden hurdle at Ludlow last year, but chasing is his game, and he should be a fun horse to have around.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 21 starts and currently rated 122 over fences. Finished third, beaten nine lengths, to Admiral’s Sunset in a handicap chase at Worcester (2m 1/2f) in September off his current mark.

He fell twice over hurdles and ran over fences at Hereford the other day. He will wait for the better ground and will have a summer campaign.

Form profile

Runner-up, beaten a length, to Leading Theatre in a bumper at Worcester in June.

Trainer says

She is a nice mare who has just come back in after a Winter break and she ran well in a bumper at Worcester and ran well in a point-to-point bumper and the form worked out well. The winner has gone on and done nice things and she is an exciting mare for her owner/breeder.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 7 starts and currently rated 116 over hurdles. Winner of a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m) in December by three and three quarter lengths from Anyharminasking.

Trainer says

He is a very exciting novice for us this time and his form has worked out very well. He sort of got stuck in the mud at Fontwell last time but he has options over the weekend. He is in at Wetherby and Cheltenham, and I think he is very well handicapped.

Form profile

Winner of five of his 18 starts and currently rated 135 over hurdles. Finished fifth, beaten 23 lengths, to Tommy’s Oscar in the Grade 2 Unibet Hurdle at Haydock (1m 7 1/2f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

He ran very well at Haydock on his second run for us and the ground wasn’t really soft enough for him there at the weekend. He might have the option over going to France when it dries up here and I am excited about him.

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 40 starts and currently rated 126 over hurdles. Finished third, beaten six and three quarter lengths, to Flashing Glance in a handicap hurdle at Hereford (2m 3 1/2f) in December off a mark of 130.

Trainer says

His Hereford form worked out very well and I was quite pleased with that run. He sort of bounced at Uttoxeter next time out but we will just freshen him up and he will have some options at the beginning of February.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 8 starts and currently rated 116 over hurdles. Scored by a length and three quarters from Minella Charmer in a handicap hurdle at Haydock (1m 7 1/2f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

He has some nice novice hurdle form but lost his way a little bit this time, so we did his wind after Cheltenham and the definitely seemed to help him. He will have gained a lot of confidence from his win at Haydock at the weekend and he is a chaser in the making but we will stay over hurdles this time. He travels very strongly in his races and, hopefully, can go on from last Saturday.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 2 starts. Made a winning debut for the stable in a mares’ bumper at Ludlow in December when beating Pass The Love two lengths.

Trainer says

She was picked by Jerry McGrath, and we bought her at Cheltenham. She won nicely at Ludlow and we were going to go for the Listed Mares’ bumper at Market Rasen last Friday but that race has been rearranged for Cheltenham this weekend so we will end up there on Saturday. She is a nice mare and whatever she does in bumpers will be a bonus before she goes over hurdles.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 9 starts and currently rated 109. Finished runner-up, beaten 16 lengths, to Galileo Silver in a novices’ handicap chase at Huntingdon (2m 4f) on Boxing Day off a mark of 107.

Trainer says

She is a half-brother to Billingsley who we did very well with, and she is just improving for going over fences. She nicely at Huntingdon on Boxing Day on ground she wouldn’t have liked and has entries at Wetherby this week and should go very well.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 22 starts and currently rated 115. Finished runner-up, beaten two lengths, to White Walker in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (2m 7f) in August off his current mark.

Trainer says

He is another one on a summer break. He will come back very shortly and will go over fences and it should be the making of him really. He has been very consistent on the Flat and over hurdles and hopefully it will be the same over fences.
