Philip Hobbs and Johnson White Stable Tour

Form profile

Finished fourth in a juvenile hurdle in Auteuil (2m 2f) in September of last year.

Trainer says

He ran twice in France, first in an AQPS bumper before finishing fourth in a juvenile hurdle at Auteuil. He will go novice hurdling and will be fine.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten half a length, to Ski Lodge in a bumper at Chepstow in January 2024.

Trainer says

He had a setback and didn’t run last season, but he is in fine form now and ready to run. He will go straight over hurdles very soon. He’s a nice horse but definitely wouldn’t want quick ground, so anything on the softer side would be good for him.

Form profile

Finished fourth, beaten three and a half lengths, behind Frontier Prince in a 2m novices’ hurdle at Chepstow earlier this month.

Trainer says

He ran well the other day at Chepstow in a novice hurdle, and he will probably run in another two-mile hurdle before stepping up in trip.

Form profile

Fell four out on his hurdling debut at Worcester (2m) earlier this month.

Trainer says

It was disappointing when he fell the other day, but at the same time he is normally a very good jumper. He will be running in a two-mile novice hurdle before very long.

Form profile

Scored by nine lengths from Hans Lippershey in a bumper at Worcester in May.

Trainer says

He should be one of our better prospects really. He won well at Worcester in his bumper, and hopefully he’s on an upward trend. He has an entry for next Monday at Bangor.

Form profile

Finished third, beaten 12½ lengths, behind Masked Man in a 2m novice hurdle at Chepstow earlier this month.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse and probably needed the experience of the run at Chepstow. Hopefully he’s an improver, and he will stick to two-mile novice hurdles for the time being.

Form profile

116-rated hurdler. Off the mark in a 2m 3f handicap hurdle at Taunton in March when scoring by a length and a quarter from Through The Ages off a mark of 112.

Trainer says

He won well at Taunton last season but was still very green when he won. He will be one that will be in handicap hurdles to begin with and maybe novice handicap chases later in the season.

Form profile

128-rated hurdler. Challenging when falling/unseating just after three out in the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow (2m 3½f) earlier this month.

Trainer says

He was still going very well when falling in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow. He has been declared to run at Cheltenham on Friday.

Form profile

144-rated chaser. A winner three times at Aintree last season, gaining his latest success there in a 2m 4f handicap chase on Boxing Day when beating Richmond Lake by six and a half lengths off a mark of 127. Ended his campaign with another solid effort in a valuable 3m 1f handicap chase at Aintree in April when runner-up, beaten five lengths, to Cruz Control off a mark of 144.

Trainer says

He is one of our better prospects and runs at Aintree on Sunday in the Old Roan Chase. It’s a lot of money to be running for, and hopefully he would have a decent chance there.

Form profile

126-rated hurdler. Finished runner-up, beaten a neck, to Dargiannini in a 2m 4f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter earlier this month off a mark of 124.

Trainer says

He ran well the other day at Uttoxeter and only just got beat. He was a bit unlucky, and he went up 2lb for that second. Hopefully he can win a two-and-a-half-mile handicap hurdle before he goes novice chasing.

Form profile

118-rated hurdler. Finished seventh, beaten 13 lengths, behind Thanksforthehelp when last seen in a 2m 3½f handicap hurdle at Punchestown in April off his current mark.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse that runs in a two-mile-three handicap hurdle at Fontwell this Thursday. Hopefully he would have every chance.

Form profile

121-rated hurdler. Finished a highly-creditable third, beaten seven and a half lengths, behind The New Lion in a 2m 3½f maiden hurdle at Chepstow last October, and was heavily odds-on when beating Thankyouandplease by 19 lengths in a similar event at Exeter (2m 5½f) in March.

Trainer says

He won well at Exeter in a very weak race, but he is a likeable prospect. He might run at Ascot on Saturday week.

Form profile

124-rated chaser. Made a winning debut over fences when landing a 2m 4f novices’ handicap at Newbury in February by four and three-quarter lengths from Bashers Reflection off a mark of 117. Ran well on his return to that course the following month in a 2m 6½f handicap chase when runner-up, beaten a length, to The Boola Boss off a mark of 121.

Trainer says

He runs at Aintree on Sunday in a conditional jockeys’ handicap hurdle, but he will be back over fences before too long.

Form profile

Well beaten on his hurdling debut in the Grade 2 Persian War Novices’ Hurdle at Chepstow (2m 3½f) earlier this month after showing plenty of promise in two high-class bumpers.

Trainer says

He had a bit of a disaster recently at Chepstow on his first run of the season after getting too wound up. He came back lame behind and also had an issue with his wither as well. He is fine now and will probably run again in three or four weeks. He could be a nice horse, and it would be best to disregard his first run of the season.

Form profile

Winner of a 1m 4f bumper at Moulins in April 2024.

Trainer says

He won his AQPS Flat race in France and is by one of the best French stallions in Cokoriko. He could be a nice young horse.

Form profile

122-rated chaser. Finished third, beaten four and a quarter lengths, behind Top Of The Bill in a 3m handicap chase at Ffos Las in March off his current mark when last seen.

Trainer says

He probably needs three miles-plus on very soft ground, but he will win in turn.

Form profile

148-rated chaser. Gained his latest success in a 2m 3½f handicap chase at Chepstow in December when beating Can You Call by three and a half lengths off a mark of 138. Creditable effort next time out when runner-up, beaten two and a quarter lengths, to Jingko Blue in the Grade 2 Hampton Novices’ Chase at Windsor (3m) in January.

Trainer says

He has been very much on the up for the last couple of seasons and stays very well. We are hoping he could even be one to run in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury.

Form profile

120-rated chaser and hurdler. His best effort last season probably came when finishing third, beaten three and three-quarter lengths, behind Hermino AA in a 3m handicap hurdle at Newbury in November off a mark of 118.

Trainer says

He is a seven-year-old now but is rated 120 over fences and should be able to win off that mark - he wants three miles-plus.

Form profile

130-rated hurdler. Made a winning reappearance in a 2m 1f handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot last Saturday when scoring by four lengths from Dance And Glance off a mark of 125.

Trainer says

He has gone up 5lb for his win at Newton Abbot last week, but he could be progressive. He is probably one for the Gerry Feilden at Newbury, but I don’t know if I want to wait that long before running him again. He’s a nice horse and is a two-mile handicap hurdler, though he probably doesn’t want very soft ground.

Form profile

108-rated hurdler. Finished seventh, beaten five and three-quarter lengths, behind Got A Dream in a 2m 3½f handicap hurdle at Chepstow earlier this month off his current mark.

Trainer says

He ran okay the other day at Chepstow and probably wants three miles. He should be capable of winning a handicap hurdle before going novice chasing.

Form profile

Promise in three outing in point-to-points in Ireland, last seen finishing runner-up, beaten four and a half lengths, to Real Quartz in November 2024.

Trainer says

He was a runner-up in two of his three point-to-points in Ireland. He’s one to go novice hurdling in the next couple of weeks.

Form profile

121-rated hurdler and a two-time winner last season. Managed to get off the mark with a five-and-a-half-length victory over Knead A Win in a 2m maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in December and added to that success with a short-head victory over Reallyntruthfully in a 2m 3½f handicap hurdle at Hereford in February off a mark of 116.

Trainer says

He did well last season to win at Uttoxeter and Hereford. I don’t know whether he will go straight over fences or not, though I think he will probably run in a handicap hurdle before going novice chasing.

Form profile

121-rated chaser. Gained his latest win in a 2m novices’ handicap chase at Chepstow in January when beating Cabhfuilfungi by half a length off a mark of 114.

Trainer says

He might run at Newton Abbot on Wednesday. He wants either two miles on heavy or two and a half on better ground.

Form profile

129-rated hurdler. Completed a hat-trick when beating Stoner’s Choice by three and a half lengths in a 2m 5f handicap hurdle at Kempton last February of a mark of 123.

Trainer says

He runs at Cheltenham on Friday. He is hopefully progressive, though he can get a little bit wound up and needs to settle, but he is one that can certainly win races.

Form profile

Winner of all four of his starts. Landed a point-to-point in Ireland by two and a half lengths from Great Fleet in May 2024 before completing a hat-trick in bumpers when beating Realco by a length and three quarters in a Listed bumper at Newbury in February.

Trainer says

He won his three bumpers last year, including a Listed bumper at Newbury. He will want two and a half miles over hurdles, but we will probably start off over two. He is hopefully a very nice prospect for the future, but he will need soft ground.

Form profile

Easy seven-and-a-half-length victor over Whiskey Yank in a bumper at Ffos Las in March on stable debut.

Trainer says

He won his bumper very well at Ffos Las last season. He is one that should improve over hurdles, and he could run at Aintree on Sunday.

Form profile

117-rated hurdler. Gained his first win for the stable when beating High Fibre by a length and three-quarters in a 2m ½f maiden hurdle at Taunton in January.

Trainer says

He might run at Newton Abbot next Wednesday. He is in a two-mile handicap hurdle there, and he will probably do that before going novice chasing.

Form profile

142-rated hurdler. Made a winning debut for the stable when scoring by two and a half lengths from Dartmoor Pirate in a Pertemps Hurdle Series Qualifier at Wincanton (3m ½f) on Boxing Day off a mark of 138.

Trainer says

He won a Pertemps qualifier last season at Wincanton on Boxing Day. He will want three miles, soft ground and fences, but he could improve for them. He did have one run over fences at Doncaster but jumped right-handed, so going left could be a help.

Form profile

136-rated hurdler. A four-time winner last season, completing a hat-trick when scoring by four and a quarter lengths from Thank You Ma’am in a 3m ½f handicap hurdle at Haydock in April off a mark of 124. Subsequently finished runner-up, beaten a neck, to Harbour Lake in the valuable Pertemps Network Long Distance Handicap Hurdle over the same course and distance in May off a mark of 132.

Trainer says

He runs at Cheltenham on Saturday. He needs three miles and could well be going novice chasing after a race over hurdles.

Form profile

121-rated hurdler. A winner of two 2m 3f handicap hurdles at Taunton in December and January, on the second occasion scoring by four and a half lengths from Sorceleur off a mark of 112 when unpenalised for his previous win in a conditional jockeys’ handicap hurdle. Subsequently finished third, beaten three and a half lengths, behind Taita Hills in a 2m 4f handicap hurdle at Sandown in February off a mark of 120.

Trainer says

He is in at Aintree on Sunday if the weights go up, so he’s not a definite to run there. That’s a novice chase, so we are going to straight over fences with him.
