Form profile

104 rated hurdler. Opened his account over hurdles with a three quarter length success from Clondaw Fame at Ffos Las (2m) in October.

Trainer says

He disappointed last time and we don’t know why. He has schooled well since and is well-handicapped. We will find something after Christmas for him.

Form profile

125 rated chaser. Returned to winning form with a length defeat of Destroytheevidence in a Handicap Chase at Ludlow (3m) on Wednesday.

Trainer says

He won last week at Ludlow, and we will see what the handicapper does, but we will look for another three-mile chase for him with similar prize money. He is a consistent sort and goes on all types of ground.

Form profile

154 rated chaser. Finished fourth, beaten five and a quarter lengths, to Marble Sands in a Grade 3 Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (3m 3 1/2f) in November off his current mark. Made the running until pulled up in the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot (3m) on Saturday.

Trainer says

He disappointed us at Ascot on Saturday, but we will mix him over hurdles and chases.

Form profile

117 rated hurdler. Finished fourth, beaten three and a half lengths, to We’re Red And Blue in a handicap hurdler at Huntingdon (2m) this month off a mark of 118.

Trainer says

He has always been a likeable type of horse, and he works very well and is quite fast. We have now schooled him over fences, and he will be running on Boxing Day or in the New Year in a two-mile handicap chase. He should be good in that.

Form profile

Finished fifth, beaten 10 ½ lengths, to Old Clayesmorian in a bumper at Warwick this month.

Trainer says

He ran well in his bumper at Warwick and took a grip. They went slow and then sprinted, but I think it is a race that will work out well. He should win his bumper.

Form profile

132 rated hurdler. Made a winning reappearance in a handicap hurdle at Sandown (2m 4f) in November when beating Akimos a neck off a mark of 128. Only fifth, beaten 24 lengths, to Go Dante when favourite for a similar event at Sandown (2m) this month off a mark of 133.

Trainer says

He was a bit disappointing last time and I don’t know if we ran him back just a bit too quick. He did that last year, but he will pay his way in two and a half mile handicaps. He is a very genuine horse and loves soft ground.”

Form profile

128 rated chaser. Placed in five of his 6 starts last season and finished third, beaten five and three quarter lengths, to Sam Brown when last seen in action in handicap chase at Newbury (3m 2f) in March off a mark of 130.

Trainer says

He is back in and will go Hunter Chasing. He is one to keep an eye on in those Hunter Chases.

Form profile

145 rated hurdler. Best effort this season when third, beaten eight and a quarter lengths, to Kikijo in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (3m) in November off a mark of 146.

Trainer says

We will look to go back hurdling with him, and we will target the Cleeve Hurdle. He won it last year.

Form profile

133 rated chaser. Made a winning debut over fences when scoring by three lengths from Kdeux Saint Fray in a novices handicap chase at Aintree (2m 4f) this month off a mark of 126.

Trainer says

There is a possible race for him at Newbury after Christmas. He has been pencilled in for a two mile six handicap. He won very well the other day at Aintree and has improved for fences.

Form profile

134 rated chaser. Finished runner-up, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Coco Mademoiselle in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3m) in May off a mark of 132 when last seen in action.

Trainer says

He had a little setback in the autumn but is back in training now. We will probably look for a Veterans’ race for him over three miles.

Form profile

Off the mark on his second run over hurdles at Leicester (1m 7 1/2f) in November when beating Lady Dapple Rose a length.

Trainer says

He won his novice well at Leicester and will be out in the Christmas period. He is a nice horse.

Form profile

129 rated hurdler. A winner three times this season and finished a creditable fourth, beaten two and a half lengths, to Carlenrig in the Grade 2 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham (3m) this month.

Trainer says

He ran very well the other day at Cheltenham and wasn’t beaten very far in a Grade 2 event. He is a very likeable consistent type and goes on all kinds of ground. There looks like there has been further improvement for three miles.

Form profile

132 rated chaser. Had a walkover in a chase at Newbury (2m 2 1/2f) in November and then scored by 11 lengths from Southoftheborder in a novices’ handicap chase at Doncaster (2m 3f) later that month off a mark of 125.

Trainer says

He will have entries everywhere over Christmas and he won very well at Doncaster last time. We wouldn’t be opposed to stepping him up to three miles and there could be improvement.

Form profile

127 rated chaser, Finished third, beaten 22 lengths, to Keep Running in a handicap chase at Sandown (1m 7 1/2f) this month off a mark of 129.

Trainer says

He is going to have an entry on Boxing Day. He will be entered everywhere and will preferably go right-handed. He jumped well the last day, and his mark looks very workable.

Form profile

112 rated chaser. A winner twice this season and gain last victory in a handicap chase at Chepstow (2m) in October when accounting for Pure Carbon by four lengths off a mark of 106.

Trainer says

He disappointed at Ludlow the other day and never seems to get into a rhythm. We will back off him for a week or two and will probably target the spring.

Form profile

Winner of a point-to-point in Ireland in November.

Trainer says

He is a recent purchase, and we are not sure if we are going to run him in a bumper or a hurdle. He was bought at the Sale at Newbury and won his point-to-point very well. He should have a bright future whatever he does.

Form profile

133 rated hurdler. Made an impressive debut for the stable when beating Blue Carpet 12 lengths in a novices’ hurdle at Chepstow (2m) in October before finishing runner-up, beaten a length and three quarters, to Diamond Hunter in the Grade 2 Newton Novices’ at Haydock (1m 7 1/2f) in November. Had an easy task when returning to winning form with a two and a half length victory from Hello Fortune in a novices’ at Lingfield (2m 3 1/2f) earlier this month.

Trainer says

He is a very nice horse and won easily at Lingfield but probably didn’t beat much. We will work back from Trails Day at Cheltenham and the Grade 2 there over two and a half.

Form profile

154 rated chaser. Finished third, beaten nine and a half lengths, to Saint Segal in a Handicap Chase at Kelso (2m 1f) this month off a mark of 156.

Trainer says

Matata ran very well the other day at Kelso, and we will be looking to step him up in trip. We will find a two and half miler and whether it’s New Year’s Day or elsewhere we will see. He’s ready to go up in trip.

Form profile

Made a winning debut for the stable when beating Pertemps half a length in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m) on Friday.

Trainer says

He won nicely at Uttoxeter on Friday and looks potentially quite smart.

Form profile

Finished fifth, beaten nine and a quarter lengths, to Westbrooke Boy in a bumper at Huntingdon in November.

Trainer says

He ran in a bumper at Huntingdon and showed up well for a long way. It turned into a bit of a sprint, and he is a big horse and not the type for three-year-old race, but he has come out of the race well and is nice horse for the future.

Form profile

118 rated hurdler. Has run well in his three starts this season and probably best effort when third, beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Alexei in Handicap Hurdle at Ascot (1m 7 1/2f) in November off his current mark. Finished fifth, beaten 30 lengths, to Came From Nowhere in a handicap hurdle at Hereford (2m 3 1/2f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

He has been a very consistent horse but put in a disappointing performance at Hereford. We will go back to the drawing board, but he is beginning to look well handicapped at his best.

Form profile

113 rated chaser. Scored by nine and a half lengths from John W Creasy in a handicap chase at Warwick (2m 4f) on New Year’s Eve last year off a mark of 101.

Trainer says

He only had one run last year for us but won very well before having a setback. He is going to run in between Christmas and New Year at Leicester. He is a lovely big horse who jumps very well and is owned by Terry Spraggett. He is one to keep an eye on.

Form profile

116 rated hurdler. Pulled up latest start in a handicap hurdle at Sandown (2m) this month but had won his previous two starts at Ludlow including when beating Diplomatie seven and a half lengths in a handicap hurdle off a mark of 112.

Trainer says

He trach washed dirty after his last run which is unlike him but explains his poor run. I would put a line through that run, and we will look for a two and a half mile handicap for him in the middle of January. He should still be on a workable mark.

Form profile

145 rated hurdler. Finished third, beaten eight lengths, to Wodhooh in the Grade 2 Ascot Hurdle at Ascot (2m 3 1/2f) in November. Fourth, beaten eight and a half lengths, to Impose Toi in the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot (3m 1/2f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

He ran a reasonable race in the Long Walk Hurdle on Saturday when we stepped him up to three miles. He is a very nice horse and, hopefully, we can place him to good effect.

Form profile

122 rated hurdler. Off the mark with a eight and a half length success from Guardami Ancora in a novices’ hurdle at Hereford (2m) in November.

Trainer says

He didn’t like the heavy ground at AIntree last time. We will look for some better ground for him in another novice. He is a nice horse who will make a smashing chaser next year.

Form profile

109 rated chaser. Added to his score when beating Deep Purple four lengths in a handicap chase at Chepstow (3m 2f) in October off a mark of 105. Didn’t jump with any fluency when pulled up before four out in a handicap chase at Fakenham (3m 5f) on Sunday.

Trainer says

The ground may not have suited him at Fakenham on Sunday, and he didn’t jump particularly well either. Before that, he had been Mr Consistent.

Form profile

Scored by seven and a half lengths from Legendary Luke in a bumper at Worcester in October and subsequently four, beaten five lengths, to The Walk in a similar event at Ascot in November.

Trainer says

He is back at Paddy’s having a break. We will see if we have another run in the spring or whether we put him away.

Form profile

Finished fifth, beaten 19 ½ lengths, to Red Metal in a bumper at Hereford on Saturday.

Trainer says

He is a nice Vadamos horse who shaped quite well in his bumper at Hereford but really wants better ground and is one to keep an eye on in the spring.

Form profile

125 rated hurdler. Scored by 12 lengths from Purple Owl on his hurdling bow at Uttoxeter (2m) in October and followed up with a neck success from Count Of Vendome in a novices’ at Bangor (2m 1/2f) in November before finding company too strong in a Listed Novices’ at Sandown won by Hurricane Pat.

Trainer says

He won his two novices' well and was slightly disappointing at Sandown. He was another to trach was dirty after and he will have a quiet month and then we will for something towards the end of January, probably still over two miles.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten 16 lengths, to Ubatuba in a maiden hurdle at Leicester (2m 4 1/2f) this month.

Trainer says

He ran a nice race first time out and looked good until two out and probably just needed the run. We will be looking for a two and a half mile maiden for him on some nicer ground next time.

Form profile

114 rated hurdler. Finished runner-up, beaten half a length, to Smart Decision in a novices’ hurdle at Leicester (1m 7 1/2f) in November.

Trainer says

He won his bumper last year and now has a mark. I think once you seen him step up in trip he will improve, and he is a home bred of Graham and Alison Jelley’s who is very tough, and you should see him winning races very soon.

Form profile

131 rated hurdler off the mark over hurdles in a novices’ event at Bangor (2m 1/2f) in October when beating Super Freddie 12 lengths and followed up in a Handicap Hurdle at Kelso (2m) this month when beating Bel Amigo six and a half lengths off a mark of 122.

Trainer says

He will have an entry in the Formby at Aintree and some other novice hurdles over Christmas. The long-term would probably be working back from the Morebattle at Kelso.

Form profile

126 rated hurdler. Made a winning reappearance in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (2m 1f) in October when beating The Hardest Geezer a length and a half of a mark of 122.

Trainer says

He just scared himself at Warwick, so we are doing plenty of schooling with him. He will be out in the next couple of weeks still over fences.

Form profile

130 rated hurdler. A winner and placed in three outing this season most recently finishing runner-up, beaten a length, to Bear Market in a handicap hurdle at Aintree (2m 4f) this month off a mark of 128.

Trainer says

He will have entries all over the place at Christmas, possibly at Aintree and possibly at Sandown. There is a Veterans’ hurdle for him which could work well.

Form profile

111 rated hurdler. Finished seventh, beaten 15 lengths, to Haarar in a handicap hurdle at Haydock (2m 3f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

We thought he was on a reasonable mark, but he disappointed us at Haydock on Saturday. He should be a better horse in the spring.

Form profile

Winner of his point-to-point in Ireland in October.

Trainer says

He won his point-to-point in Ireland, and he can potentially run at Uttoxeter on New Year’s Eve or Cheltenham on New Year’s Day. He won his point very nicely and has been showing up well at home. He looks quite exciting.

Form profile

125 rated hurdler. Made a winning hurdling debut for his stable when scoring by half a length from Grandpa Ger in a maiden event at Uttoxeter (2m) in October and followed up in a novices’ over the same course (2m 4f) later that month when five lengths too good for Just Golden. Finished third, beaten eight and quarter lengths, to No Drama This End in a Grade 2 Novices’ Hurdle at Sandown (2m 4f) this month.

Trainer says

He ran a very nice race behind the good horse of Paul’s and if we had ridden him to finish second, he would been second, but we tried to win and that cost him. He is a very likeable horse, and we will have a lot of fun with him but there’s no definite plans just yet but wherever he goes he will have a good chance.

Form profile

147 rated chaser. Made a winning reappearance in a valuable Handicap Chase at Haydock (3m 1 1/2f) in November when scoring by seven lengths from Saladins Son off a mark of 138. Only ninth, beaten 32 ¾ lengths, to Grand Geste in the Tommy Whittle Chase at Haydock (3m 1 1/2f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

He won well at Haydock on his reappearance but was a little disappointing on his return in the Tommy Whittle.

Form profile

132 rated chaser. Scored by two and three quarter lengths from Ashtown Lad in a Veterans’ Handicap Chase at Aintree (3m 1f) in October of a mark of 128 and runner-up twice since most recently finishing seven and a half length behind Can You Call in another Veterans’ Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (2m 4 1/2f) this month off his current mark.

Trainer says

He is very consistent and very likeable. He has to go left-handed and we will probably have to find an ordinary handicap for him. He has been very good for his owner.

Form profile

117 rated hurdler. Solid effort when runner-up, beaten three lengths, to Hurricane Pat in a maiden hurdle at Sandown in November on his penultimate start.

Trainer says

“His form has worked out well and he finished second to one of Gary and Josh Moore’s who then went and won the Listed race at Sandown. The third behind him Laguna Beach then went and won at Hereford. He disappointed on the heavy ground at Leicester but is a smashing horse nearly 17 hands and everything he does this year is a bonus. He is a quality animal.

Form profile

125 rated hurdler. Returned to winning form in a novices’ hurdle at Ludlow (2m) on Wednesday when beating Bras d’Or four and three quarter lengths.

Trainer says

He is a horse we like, and he won very well last week at Ludlow. We will be working back from what was the Betfair Hurdle.

Form profile

140 rated chaser. Made a successful return to chasing when beating Richmond Lake nine and a half lengths in a Handicap at Aintree (2m 4f) this month off a mark of 132.

Trainer says

We will possibly look at the Welsh National. He won very well at Aintree and we’ve done a few things in his training, and it has improved his jumping. He is exciting.
