Jamie Snowden Stable Tour

Form profile

Scored by nine and a half lengths from Diamonds Galore in a mares’ maiden bumper at Uttoxeter on New Year’s Eve and subsequently fourth, beaten nine and a half lengths, to Charisma Cat in a Listed Mares’ bumper at Sandown in March.

Trainer says

She is a sister to Simonsig who was a Grade 1 winner and she won a bumper at Uttoxeter very impressively on her debut and then ran well in a Listed race at Sandown. She actually stumbled and lost her confidence and did remarkably well to finish fourth and the form of that run can probably be upgraded. She wants a bit of soft ground and we will probably start her off over two miles plus.

Form profile

A 122-rated hurdler. Landed a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (2m) in November by four lengths from Buckna and solid effort on his final start in a novices’ hurdle at Ayr (2m) in January when runner-up, beaten five and a half lengths, to Jet To Vegas.

Trainer says

He is out of sister to the very successful stallion Tagula. He won a novice hurdle down at Ffos Las last November and loves soft ground. He never really got soft ground after that on the back of a very dry winter and was second under penalty at Ayr to a horse that went onto win the Grade 2 at Kelso and was fourth in a Grade 1. He is going to go novice chasing and jumps very well but will want soft ground.

Form profile

A 111-rated hurdler. Off the mark over hurdles with a two and a quarter length victory from Realta Liath in a mares’ maiden at Wetherby (2m 3½f) in March and followed up with a eight length success from Madeupmymind in a mares’ novice at Warwick (2m 3f) in April.

Trainer says

She won a bumper on her debut and two novice hurdles through the spring. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite happen for her on her handicap debut but she is better than her handicap mark and you would like to think she can break the ice in a handicap and then got for a Listed race. There is one at Kempton at Christmas time and we might go there. She is a sister to You Wear It Well so I think there’s an awful lot more to come from her.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten four and a half lengths, to If You Believe in a point-to-point in Ireland in March.

Trainer says

He is a Diamond Boy gelding who was second in a point-to-point. He is out of a sister to a Grade 2 winner in France and he will be a nice horse in time. He is a lovely chaser for the future.

Form profile

Third in three bumpers - on the last occasion finishing five lengths behind Gaelic Pride at Fontwell in February.

Trainer says

He is a Cokoriko gelding and has a good pedigree. He was third in three bumpers last year and he jumps hurdles very well. I think he is going to be a nice hurdler this season and a future staying chaser.

Form profile

A 145-rated chaser. Best effort last season on his reappearance when runner-up, beaten three and three quarter lengths, to Marble Sands in the Listed Colin Parker Chase at Carlisle (2m 4f) in November.

Trainer says

He was a graded novice hurdler and a graded novice chaser and he stepped in to open company last year - finishing second in the Colin Parker. He didn’t stay in the Coral Cup so we dropped him back in trip at Cheltenham but he fell and picked up a nasty infection in the back leg. He was in hospital for the best part of six weeks as a result of that. He is back in and looking great and he has an entry in the Grand Sefton but it would be nice to get a run into him before that. Two and a half miles and soft ground would be perfect for him and he is in the Paddy Power as well.

Form profile

A 103-rated hurdler. Finished runner-up, beaten three and a half lengths, to Soleil d’Arixona in a novice at Warwick (2m) in September on his reappearance.

Trainer says

He won a novice hurdle on his debut last spring and was second under penalty on his comeback run this year. He has a handicap mark which, hopefully, he can exploit before he goes novice chasing.

Form profile

A 127-rated hurdler. Scoring for the third time this season when beating Arqoob 13 lengths in a handicap hurdle at Warwick (2m 5f) at the start off the month off a mark of 120.

Trainer says

He has been a prolific winner over hurdles through the spring and summer. Whilst this faster ground persists we might have a run in a Challenger Series Qualifier and then give him a winter break and, perhaps, come back for the Final at Haydock in the spring.

Form profile

A 117-rated hurdler. Returned to winning form with a length and a quarter victory from Ballintubber Boy in a Handicap Hurdle at Hereford (2m 5f) on Monday of last week.

Trainer says

He has won twice this season and wants good ground but won nicely at Hereford. He should keep progressing.

Form profile

A 113-rated hurdler. Promising reappearance in a novices’ hurdle at Worcester (2m 7f) last week when third, beaten a length and a half, to Ignore The Door.

Trainer says

He won a maiden hurdle at Fontwell in March and he ran very well under a penalty at Worcester last week under a penalty. That will set him up nicely to go novice handicap chasing and he loves soft ground.

Form profile

A 120-rated hurdler. Made a winning debut for the stable in a novice hurdle at Carlisle (2m1f) in November when beating Koukei seven and a half length and followed up with a nine and half lengths win from Clearthewater a novice at Plumpton (2m) in December.

Trainer says

He won two of his three novice hurdles last year and second in his other one under a double penalty at Fontwell. He picked up an injury after that but he is back in looking great and he will go chasing this season. He is a brother to Complete Unknown who ran in the Welsh National and he will want to go up in trip in time.

Form profile

Finished third, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Quaviste in a bumper at Huntingdon in February.

Trainer says

He is a lovely horse and he ran third in a bumper at Huntingdon in February. He should be a lovely horse for novice hurdles.

Form profile

Made a winning debut over hurdles when scoring by eight lengths from Jimmy Hurdstrom in a novice at Fontwell (2m½f) this month.

Trainer says

He won an English point-to-point, a bumper and has now won a novice hurdle. He won very nicely over hurdles down at Fontwell but didn’t jump particularly well and has a lot more to learn. However, he is a smashing horse and I think quite highly of him.

Form profile

A 155-rated chaser. Very consistent throughout his career and probably put up his best effort last season when runner-up, beaten four and a half lengths, to Il Ridoto in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m 4f) in November off a mark of 155.

Trainer says

He has been a legend over the last five years from winning the Rising Stars as a four-year-old novice to ultimately winning the Paddy Power Gold Cup. He finished second in the race last year and he finished the season with a higher handicap than he started. He is going to go for the Charlie Hall at Wetherby and I think he will stay now he is a little bit older and then maybe on to the Coral Gold Cup.

Form profile

A 133-rated chaser. Finished lame when unplaced in the Kim Muir Challenge Cup at Cheltenham (3m2f) in March off a mark of 133.

Trainer says

He was a very good novice hurdle and very good novice chase and stepping into Open company he was second in a Kim Muir to Inothewayurthinkin and third in the Scottish National. He loves soft ground and last year it didn’t really happen for him as it was so dry. I am looking for one run before going for the Welsh National.

Form profile

A 126-rated hurdler. Returned to winning form with a five lengths success from Ukantango in a handicap hurdle at Worcester (2m 4f) in June off a mark of 116 and followed up with a half length victory from My Chiquita over the same course and distance in July off a mark of 121.

Trainer says

He won a novice hurdle last year and has been a very good handicapper through the summer. He will be back in the spring after a winter holiday.

Form profile

A 130-rated chaser and 123-rated hurdler. Finished third, beaten five lengths, to See A Stride in a handicap hurdle at Hexham (2m 4f) in May off a mark of 125.

Trainer says

He has been a very good handicapper to us and was placed in Grade 2 novice chases. He came back and won a nice handicap at Sandown. He loves soft ground which we didn’t really get last year and he would be one for the Imperial Cup if he got soft ground.

Form profile

A 126-rated hurdler. A winner three times over hurdles last season and gained her most prestigious success in the Grade 2 Jane Seymour Mares’ Hurdle at Sandown (2m 4f) in February when short heading That’ll Do Moss.

Trainer says

She was a Grade 2 winner last season and was our third winner of that race in the last five year so it has been very kind to us. She is going to go chasing this season.

Form profile

A 127-rated chaser and hurdler. Scored by a length and a quarter from My Chiqiuta in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m 4f) on his reappearance in September off a mark of 123 and finished fourth, beaten six and a half lengths, to Rambo T in a handicap at Chepstow (2m 3½f) this month.

Trainer says

Idy Wood has been a prolific winner and he won two novice chases last season and he won over hurdles on his reappearance at Uttoxeter before finishing a good fourth in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow. He might be one for the Lanzarote at Kempton. He won a Grade 2 at Kempton as a novice hurdler.

Form profile

A 104-rated hurdler and 103-rated chaser. Gained his last victory in a handicap hurdle at Exeter (2m7½f) in January when beating Mister Barclay two and a half lengths off a mark of 102.

Trainer says

He wins his races every year and is nicely handicapped to keep progressing. I would like to get him back over a fence at some point - I think he will be winning over fences as well.

Form profile

A 110-rated hurdler. Made a winning reappearance in a novice hurdle at Warwick (2m) this month when beating American Empire six and a half lengths and followed up with a length and three quarter victory from Whatyouwaitingfor at Hereford (2m) on Monday of last week.

Trainer says

He won a bumper and was placed in all of his novice hurdles last season. He relished the break and has come back in tremendous form and won two novice hurdles. He starts off a mark of 110 in handicaps which should see him being competitive.

Form profile

Finished third, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Elysian Knight in a maiden hurdle a Ffos Las in January.

Trainer says

He is a brother of the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle winner Appreciate It. He was third for Nicky Henderson last season and we have given him time to acclimatise to our routine. He should keep progressing and might be one for the EBF Final.

Form profile

A 138-rated hurdler. Had a great season with the stable when winning three times and ended his campaign with a two-length victory from Minella Rescue in the Grade 1 Sefton Novices’ Hurdle at Aintree (3m½f) in April.

Trainer says

We bought him from France and gave him time to acclimatise and it really paid off last season. He won a couple of novice hurdles and was third in a Listed race at Exeter and then we stepped him up to three miles in the Grade 1 Sefton Novices’ Hurdle at Aintree and he won. That was our first Grade 1 and it was great thrill - he’s a horse we look forward to seeing in novice chases over three miles but he picked up an injury at Aintree and won’t be seen until the backend of the season or, perhaps, if we give him time until the next season.

Form profile

Winner of a mile and six and half furlong bumper in France but disappointed in a similar event at Newbury on her stable debut.

Trainer says

She won a bumper in France and she came over to the UK and I shouldn’t have run her really as these horses need time to acclimatise. I look forward to seeing her novice hurdling this year.

Form profile

Came good on his third start in a bumper when beating The Hawkstonian 12 lengths at Ffos Las in February.

Trainer says

He is by Castle Du Berlais and he won a point-to-point in Ireland and a bumper at Ffos Las in heavy ground. He jumps very well and he will be a lovely novice hurdler this year on softer ground.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten half a length, to Seo Linn in a Grade 2 Mares’ bumper at Aintree in April.

Trainer says

She came to us mid-way through last season having finished second at Thurles in a bumper. The ground was so dry we couldn’t find anywhere to run her and she impressed us at Aintree when we threw her in at the deepend in the Grade 2 bumper and she ran a belter of a race to finish second. She jumps nicely and she should be a top-class novice hurdler this year.

Form profile

A 115-rated hurdler. Finished fifth, beaten 21 lengths, to Of Course You Can in a mares’ handicap hurdle at Ludlow (2m5f) this month off her current mark.

Trainer says

She was the first Beamac Du Houelle to win in England and he won at couple of bumpers and was third in the Aintree bumper. She won on her hurdling debut at Ludlow and we kind of lost her through last season so we didn’t run her again after she disappointed at Newbury. She is back this year and she probably needed her comeback run at Ludlow where she took a bit of a blow. There should be more to come from her in handicaps this season.

Form profile

Winner of both of her starts - scoring by eight lengths from Do Wa Diddy in a bumper at Huntingdon in November - and made a winning reappearance in a mares’ maiden hurdle at Market Rasen in September when beating Settle Down eight lengths.

Trainer says

She is unbeaten and won a bumper last season and won a novice hurdle at Market Rasen this time around, and the second has won since. She is very smart and she probably won’t take a huge amount of racing but I will probably aim her at a Listed race at Newbury on her next start on Coral Gold Cup weekend.

Form profile

A 129-rated chaser and hurdler. Won in a canter by seven lengths from Dartan in a match in a Beginners’ Chase at Uttoxeter (3m) on Friday.

Trainer says

He won the EBF Final at Sandown last March when getting up on the line to beat Off The Jury and that race produces a lot of good novice chasers. He started off in a beginners’ chase at Uttoxeter on Friday and gained a smooth win. Hopefully, it is onwards and upwards for him over fences.

Form profile

Winner of his point-to-point in Ireland in March when beating Eclat De Marvel a length.

Trainer says

He is a Soldier Of Fortune five-year-old out of a sister to Native River (who won the Gold Cup). He won a point-to-point Ballycrystal in Ireland for Sean Doyle and came highly recommended. He will start off in a bumper at Worcester on Wednesday but he will be novice hurdling this winter.

Form profile

Off the mark over hurdles when beating Close Combat two and a half lengths at Chepstow (2m) in January.

Trainer says

He is a lovely horse and he is out of a half-sister to a nice horse. He is by a young French sire Nirvana Du Berlais and he won a junior development National Hunt hurdle at Chepstow on his second start. He is a novice for this season and won’t carry a penalty. He could be a very nice novice hurdler.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

He is out of a sister to the Grade 2 winner El Bandito from the family of Cahervillahow. He was in training last season and didn’t run. He is a great big horse and I look forward to seeing him out in bumpers this season.

Form profile

A 118-rated hurdler. Winner of a maiden hurdle at Wetherby (2m) in November of last year when beating Mix De Gris 13 lengths.

Trainer says

We bought him from France off the Flat and he bolted up on his debut at Wetherby in a juvenile hurdle. He was then second in the Grade 2 Finale. He loves soft ground and he didn’t really get it through the spring. There should be an awful lot more to come from him off a mark of 118 on soft ground this winter.

Form profile

A 113-rated hurdler. Off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon (2m) in March when by a short head from Absolutely Doyen.

Trainer says

He won a novice hurdle at Huntingdon in the spring and was second under a penalty. He is a novice until December so, hopefully, he can win a novice under a penalty before he goes novice handicap chasing.

Form profile

A 131-rated hurdler. Gained his last win at Haydock (1m 7½f) in December when beating Bertie’s Ballet two and a quarter lengths off a mark of 125.

Trainer says

He is only seven and he has won five times. He loves soft ground and two miles is his trip on a flat track. He loves Haydock.

Form profile

Runner-up in a AQPS flat race at Moulins in April.

Trainer says

He is a gelding by Cokoriko and was second on his debut in a bumper at Moulins in the spring in what is notoriously a good race. We have just given him plenty of time but I like him.

Form profile

A 100-rated hurdler. Won his last three English point-to-points in the spring for Christopher Barber. Formerly with Emma Lavelle.

Trainer says

He is out of a sister to Cool Roxy and he has won five point-to-points and, hopefully, has a handicap mark we can exploit under Rules.

Form profile

A 119-rated chaser. Finished runner-up, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Bluey in a novices’ handicap chase at Kempton (2m 2f) on Sunday.

Trainer says

She won a couple of junior novice hurdles and was fourth in a Listed and fourth in a Grade 2 as a hurdler. She has really stepped up over fences this summer and has won three times and ran another good race at Kempton on Sunday. She wants this better ground but has done us proud.

Form profile

A 129-rated chaser. Having his third run for the stable when beating Digby a neck a in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3m 2f) in June off a mark of 126.

Trainer says

He won the Summer Cup for us at Uttoxeter in June and has been given a break on the back of that. He will go down the Veteran’s Series route now and there should be plenty more to come from him on soft ground.

Form profile

Winner of a bumper at Sedgefield last week when beating Skittish half a length.

Trainer says

She won a mares’ bumper last week,. She jumps well and is out of a good family. Hopefully, she can be nice mare for the stable.

Form profile

A 125-rated chaser. Finished fourth, beaten 15 lengths, to Mr Vango in the Midlands Grand National Handicap Chase at Uttoxeter (4m 2f) in March off a mark of 126.

Trainer says

He was a good novice hurdler and fourth in the Grade 1 Challow. He was also a very good novice chaser but last season in open company he just missed out in the Surrey National and was third in the Eider and fourth in the Midlands National. He stays well and jumps great and there should be another handicap in him.

Form profile

Winner of both of her bumpers at Worcester in July and August of last year. Beat Tralee Bay two lengths on the first occasion and then scored by six and a half lengths from Crazy About Her.

Trainer says

She won two bumpers for us last summer and picked up an injury just after that. She is back in, jumps great and will be a nice novice hurdler this season.

Form profile

Made a winning debut for the stable when beating Just A Glance a length in a bumper at Aintree in May.

Trainer says

He won a point-to-point bumper at Aintree. He should be a decent novice hurdler.

Form profile

A 120-rated chaser. Gained his last win in a handicap chase at Haydock (3m4½f) in March off a mark of 117.

Trainer says

He really stepped up when sent over fences. He won a couple of times as a novice and, again, impressed last season. He won a nice race at Haydock and then was second at Cheltenham in the spring. He could go to Cheltenham on Friday.

Form profile

Finished fourth, beaten eight and a half lengths, to Ninna Colliina when odds-on for a mares’ maiden hurdle at Hereford (2m) last week.

Trainer says

She won a bumper last season and has been placed over hurdles this autumn. She has plenty of speed and it hasn’t quite worked for her but she could be alright.

Form profile

A 138-rated hurdler. Returned to winning form when scoring by 21 lengths from Wa Wa in a handicap hurdle at Utttoxeter (2m7½f) this month off a mark of 118 and followed up with a three length victory from Idem in a similar event at Hexham (2m7½f) under at 7lb penalty.

Trainer says

He has won seven races and won a couple of times last week. He is a winning machine.

Form profile

A winner of her point-to-point in Ireland in April when beating Bessie Grove four lengths.

Trainer says

She is a Born To Sea filly out of a winning French mare from the family of Blaklion who won the RSA at Cheltenham. She will stay in bumpers this year and go novice hurdling the following year.

Form profile

Runner-up, beaten three quarters of a length, to Shotgun Shirley in a mares’ bumper at Uttoxeter on Saturday.

Trainer says

She is a smart mare and won her point-to-point and ran a great race when runner-up in a bumper at Uttoxeter on Saturday. She should soon find a similar event.

Form profile

Placed in two miles distance races on the Flat in France.

Trainer says

He is by Doctor Dino out of five-time winning Martaline mare who was a Listed winner at Auteuil. The pedigree is packed with winners and yet this chap started out in two Flat races in France. He was third on both occasions but he jumps well and will go juvenile hurdling this season. He could be quite smart.

Form profile

A 104-rated hurdler. Winner of both of her starts this season beating La Traataria 14 lengths in a mares’ event at Fontwell (2m1½f) in May and by six and a half lengths from Gold Link again at Fontwell (2m3f) in June.

Trainer says

She won two of her three novice hurdles last year and she jumps really well. She is going to go novice chasing this season.

Form profile

Made a winning debut in a bumper at Market Rasen in December when beating Orderoftheday and subsequently fourth, beaten eight and three quarter lengths, to Crackerjacque in a bumper at Sandown in February.

Trainer says

He won a bumper on his debut at Market Rasen and was fourth under a penalty at Sandown. He loves his jumping stays well and could be a nice novice this year.

Form profile

Winner of a point-to-point in Ireland in March when beating Sense Of Occasion a length and a half.

Trainer says

He is a Maxios horse out of dam that won on the Flat and over hurdles. He won a point-to-point and is a big strong individual. I might just run him in bumpers this season.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

He is an unraced gelding by Vol De Nuit who was a son of Linamix. The dam has produced three smart types including Style De Garde who was rated as high as 142 and was second in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival. I like this horse - he had a bit of an interrupted season last season and never got to the track - and he will go this side of Christmas.

Form profile

A 128-rated chaser and 129-rated hurdler. Gained his last victory in a Pertemps Qualifier at Huntingdon (3m 1f) in January when beating Shanagh Bob two and three quarters of a length off a mark of 125.

Trainer says

He was a very good novice hurdler and chaser but unfortunately lost his way after running in the Welsh National. It took us time to get him back but he won twice over hurdles last year and hopefully we can strike back over fences this season.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten a length and a quarter, to De Temps En Temps in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m) this month.

Trainer says

He was second on his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter recently and he will step forward from that and should be a nice staying novice this year.

Form profile

Won a point-to-point in Ireland in January when scoring by 10½ lengths from Jukebox Johnny.

Trainer says

He won his point-to-point in Ireland on soft ground and he will go novice hurdling this winter. He looks a nice recruit.

Form profile

A 122-rated chaser. Finished runner-up, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Sir Tivo in a handicap chase at Wetherby (1m 7f) last week.

Trainer says

He stepped forward over fences for us last season where we used his weight-for-age allowance. He took a nasty fall up at the Scottish National meeting but we gave him a nice break and he came out and ran a good second at Wetherby last week. He will step forward from that and there will plenty more to come from him this season.

Form profile

A 128-rated hurdler. Added to his score when beating Alan De Banks two and a quarter lengths in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (3m) in January off a mark of 121.

Trainer says

He has been a legend for us over the years and has been placed in a few £100,000 handicaps. He stays well and loves soft ground.

Form profile

A 143-rated hurdler. A winner twice over hurdles last season and finished fifth, beaten eight lengths, to Jasmin De Vaux in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham (3m) in March.

Trainer says

He looks very good and won a couple of bumpers and hurdles. He was second in the Challow to The New Lion and was arguably very unlucky when fifth in the Albert Bartlett. He jumps fences well and is very smart. He goes to Worcester on Wednesday.
