THE 2024-2025 EDITION PRODUCED THE FOLLOWING GEMS:
LEADING PROSPECTS included:
- ASCENDING LARK – “….the way she goes through a race suggests that she could be better than an opening mark of 113.” – she won 4 handicaps in a row, culminating in success at the Punchestown Festival (@ 8/1) and is now rated 137 (24lb improvement)
- CALDWELL POTTER – “….remains a high-class prospect for novice chases…..stepping up in distance looks sure to suit….” – he won the novices’ handicap at Cheltenham (@ 7/1) and the Mildmay Novices’ Chase at Aintree (@ 11/4)
- THE NEW LION – “The New Lion looks to be another smart prospect for the Dan Skelton stable. He looked highly-promising at Market Rasen (sole bumper run) and could have a very bright future.” – he won all 4 starts over hurdles, including the Challow (@ 9/4) and the Baring Bingham at Cheltenham (@ 3/1)
Highlighted horses within the AROUND THE YARDS section included:
- HAITI COULEURS (Rebecca Curtis) – “…the seven-year-old looks a strong stayer….he looks built for chasing and should continue his progression over fences this winter.” – he won 4 times from 5 chase starts, including the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham (@ 7/2) and the Irish Grand National (@ 13/2)
- HANDSTANDS (Ben Pauling) – “Given how he jumped in his Point-to-Point, I would expect him to be sent chasing sooner rather than later and he looks to be a really nice prospect for fences.” – he won 3 Graded races over fences, including the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase (@ 100/30)
- MYRETOWN (Lucinda Russell) – “A former Point-to-Point winner, he is very unexposed and remains capable of considerable improvement (from his mark of 123).” – won 3 times over fences, including when landing a gamble in the Ultima at Cheltenham (@ 13/2 (had been 33s the previous week).
- TELEPATHIQUE (Lucy Wadham) – “….handed an appealing mark of 103 and is very much one to note in handicaps upon her return.” – she won 4 times over fences (@ 11/4, 9/2, 5/2 & 11/4) and is now rated 148 (45lb improvement shown)
- WALK ON QUEST (Lucinda Russell) - "Handed an opening mark of 101, it will be disappointing if he can't be placed to exploit that rating in the coming months." - won 4 handicaps in a row
POINT-TO-POINT GRADUATES included:
- Dual Grade 1-winning novice hurdler FINAL DEMAND
- GORAIBHMAITHAGAT – winner @ 16/1 on Rules debut
