Form profile

169 rated chaser. Failed to add to his score last season but put in some cracking efforts particularly when returning to Aintree (3m 1f) in April when he finished runner-up, beaten half a length to Gerri Colombe in the Grade 1 Bowl Chase.

Trainer says

He is going to have a racecourse gallop and then goes to Aintree and then for the Betfair Chase at Haydock. He seems fine and he had a little bit of a sore last year that we think may have been affecting him, but we seem to have sorted that out.

Form profile

She will go for a Mares’ over two and a half miles at Carlisle and then either the Coral Gold Cup or the Rehearsal Chase. She seems in good form, and we are pleased with everything she has done. We don’t think we had her at her best all the time, but I feel we understand her a bit better.

Trainer says

He fell at the last in what looked a half decent novices’ hurdle at Newcastle, and he is a horse we are really looking forward too. He is by Shantou and won a point-to-point in Ireland. He is a three-mile chaser in the making and he might jump fences this season but he will run over hurdles to start with.

Form profile

117 rated hurdler. Finished third, beaten three and a half lengths, to Fourofakind in a handicap hurdle at Perth (2m 4f) in September off his current mark.

Trainer says

He does well around Kelso so he will keep at two miles and one around there. He sometimes gets a bit too high in the handicap but then he drops and gets his opportunities. He is a very good horse around Kelso.

Trainer says

He likes Kempton and he will run in the Coral Trophy in February. There is a good chase at Musselburgh and a good chase at Kempton for him and then he won’t run that often and we might even run him in the Galway Plate.

Form profile

He is one of our young horses that we like, and he was in pre-training with Tom Scudamore. He will go for junior bumpers, and we might set off at Aintree.

Form profile

Runner-up in his three hurdles and a bumper and beaten only a nose by She’s Notjoeking in a novice hurdle at Hexham in April.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse and another horse we bought in France as a two-year-old. He ran ever so well over hurdles and just got touched off by another one of our owners’ horses at Hexham. He is actually a chaser in the making.

He is a horse we think a lot of and possibly a little unlucky at Perth the other day. If it rides ok, he will go to Cheltenham for the Pertemps Qualifier in October.

Form profile

Winner of her only point-to-point in Ireland in April when beating Lyle View three quarters of a length.

Trainer says

She is a filly by Walk In The Park and she will probably run in the mare’s race at Aintree at the end of October. It’s a mares’ bumper and the same race that Lady In The Park was placed in.

Form profile

Unraced

He is another we bought as a two-year-old in France and we are very pleased with him. He will go to that three-year-old bumper at Aintree.

Form profile

123 rated hurdler. Off the mark over hurdles when scoring by 11 lengths from Joie More in a maiden at Kelso (2m 5f) in March.

Trainer says

He is by the same sire at Ahoy Senor (Dylan Thomas) and he looks very much like Ahoy Senor. He won his hurdle race, and he came back from injury and looks a very fine prospect. He jumped fences on Wednesday morning and jumped very well. He has entries at the weekend.

Form profile

130 rated chaser. Completed hat trick when beating Cornerstone five and a half lengths in a handicap chase at Newcastle (2m 1/2f) in February (2m 1/2f) off a mark of 124.

Trainer says

He has got to have very soft ground and is a horse who I believe has a good race in him on heavy ground. He will go to Newbury and Kempton and places like that

Form profile

123 rated hurdler. Made a winning debut over hurdles when beating I Love My Baie five lengths in novice event at Ayr (2m) in November and added to that victory when scoring by three quarters of a length from Balbao in a handicap hurdle over the same course and distance in April off a mark of 117.

Trainer says

He is a horse we really like, and he schooled over fences on Wednesday morning. We probably didn’t set him up that well for his races last season but two and a half miles over fences should be ideal and we just have to find the right races.

Form profile

120 rated hurdler. Scored by six lengths from stablemate I Wish You in a bumper at Aintree in November and had the same rival three and a quarter lengths adrift when making a winning debut over hurdles at Ayr (2m) in December. Retained his unbeaten record when scoring by five lengths from She’s Notjoeking in a conditions hurdle at Carlisle (2m 1f) in March.

Trainer says

He could be an exciting prospect and if the ground is ok, he will run in that four-year-old hurdle at Cheltenham at the end of October.

Form profile

140 rated chaser. Landed his second success of last season when beating Ballycoose in a novices handicap chase at Ayr (2m 1/2f) in February off a mark of 128 and ended his season with another fine effort when runner-up, beaten two and a half length, to Tommy’s Oscar in Handicap Chase over that course and distance in April off a mark of 138.

Trainer says

He was ready to run at Kelso, but we didn’t run him as the ground was a bit quick. He is owned by Ray Anderson who sponsors the Colin Parker Chase at Carlisle, and he will go there and there is then a very good two and a half mile chase at Kelso for him.

Form profile

134 rated chaser. Having first run for the stable when third, beaten 14 lengths, to Playful Saint in a novices’ handicap chase at Hexham (2m 4f) in May off a mark of 137.

Trainer says

He ran him over too short of a trip and I think he wants soft ground. I am very pleased with him and Willie Mullins trained him to finish third in the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle in 2022. If we can get somewhere near that then there is a good chase in him, and we might run him in the Rehearsal Chase. He will have a race before then.

Form profile

124 rated hurdler. Gained his last success in a novice hurdle at Ayr (2m 4 1/2f) in March. Finished a respectable third, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Catch Him Derry in a handicap hurdle at Ayr (3m 1/2f) in April off a mark of 122.

Trainer says

His form is very good, and he has jumped fences very well at home. He was going to run at Perth, but he cut himself and he will run in around three weeks’ time. He is an exciting prospect.

Form profile

130 rated chaser. Finished runner-up, beaten a neck, to The Gradual Slope in a handicap chase at Punchestown (3m 7 1/2f) in May odd a mark of 125 when last seen out.

Trainer says

He is going to follow in the footsteps of One For Arthur and go for a three mile two furlong chase at Kelso. He will then go for the Becher Chase and then to Warwick for the Classic Chase. If he can get in the National, then he will go for that and if he is a good as One For Arthur, I will buy you a drink!!
