Thankfully, jumps racing is set to return on Thursday following a barren few days due to the chilly weather. On a positive note, it has allowed me to do some early prep for the Flat season accumulating lists of horses for interviews starting next month. It has also been a good opportunity to reflect on the first half of the jumps season and the how the featured horses in One Jump Ahead have perfor...
There was no racing on Monday due to the cold spell and there won't be any action over jumps until Thursday at the earliest - an extra fixture at Ffos Las has been added to the calendar on Thursday, which is a welcome addition.
Those subscribers who purchased the Christmas Special will be aware that I recommended three horses to keep an eye for the Lanzarote Hurdle at Kempton, which is run ...
It is impossible to get used to these weather affected weekends when it comes to sport - at least the Darts world final takes place on Saturday evening. On the racing front, the highlight on Saturday provided by The Reverend who won on his hurdles debut at Cork. Featured in the Top 40 in OJA, the five year old is rated 102 on the Flat and won four of his nine races for William Haggas before being ...
The cold snap looks set to bite in the next days and it remains to be seen how much jump racing takes place over the weekend and beyond. National Hunt enthusiasts at least enjoyed a seven race card at Ayr with 80 runners and champion jockey Sean Bowen justified his decision to make the long journey booting home a double. Kings Champion ran out an impressive winner of the opening maiden hurdle and ...
The New Year couldn't have got off to a better start for Value Racing Club with Solly's Gold (9/4) - who was highlighted in the Christmas Special - winning the Listed four year old bumper at Cheltenham on Thursday. In front of a record crowd of 44,151, the James Owen trained runner maintained his unbeaten record with a two and a half lengths victory under Sean Bowen. Indeed, the champion jockey's ...

Declan Phelan's Irish Pointers section continued its phenomenal run of form on Wednesday with Risky Obsession (7/4) winning comprehensively in the bumper at Warwick. A narrow winner of his point in April when ...
Harry Derham's interview in the Christmas Special produced its third winner over the Festive period when Wertpol (9/1) won the juvenile hurdle at Taunton on Tuesday. Previously handled on the Flat by Johnny Murtagh in Ireland, the Kodi Bear gelding failed to win in nine starts on the level and was officially rated 69. Purchased for 37,000gns at the Newmarket Autumn Horses in Training Sale in late ...
Fourteen times champion trainer Paul Nicholls won the Grade 1 Challow Novices' Hurdle at Newbury for a record seventh time on Monday. No Drama This End had impressed when winning a couple of Grade 2 events at Cheltenham and Sandown in testing ground earlier in the season. Encountering a much quicker surface and racing for a third time in 45 days, the Walk In The Park gelding overcame the different...
A big thank you to owner Vincent Caldwell who passed on positive news regarding Bentraghhill before his Rules debut in the Christmas Special. The Scottish National winning patron commented on page 7 that the four year old is "working well and we are very excited to see him on the track." Contesting the concluding bumper on day three of Leopardstown's Christmas Festival, the former pointer was ridd...
Similar to Synchronised (off 150 in 2010), Native River (155 in 2016) and Elegant Escape (151 in 2018), Haiti Couleurs (advised @ 8/1) produced a tremendous weight carrying performance to win the Welsh National at Chepstow on Saturday becoming the fourth home trained winner in the last seven years. Shouldering 11st 13lb with an official rating of 154, the former Irish National and Cheltenham Festi...
