THE 2023-2024 EDITION PRODUCED THE FOLLOWING GEMS:

LEADING PROSPECTS included:

  • Ballyburn “….is bred to relish a stiffer test of stamina and as he learns to race more professionally, is likely to improve as he goes up in distance. He could well develop into a leading contender for the Ballymore” – Ballyburn won the Gallagher Hurdle (formerly the Ballymore) in March (available at 7-1 at the time of publication)
  • Dysart Enos – “Having improved appreciably with each start, she now rates a hugely exciting prospect for novice hurdles against her own sex” won all three starts over hurdles
  • Kateira “Blessed with a good turn of foot, she is currently rated 138 and can progress again this season” won a Premier Handicap at Aintree’s Grand National Meeting at 5/1
  • Nemean Lion “Given how he travels, he should be well-suited by a strongly-run race and could be capable of rating a good bit higher than his current mark of 135” won the Welsh Champion Hurdle at 3/1 on first start and was rated as high as 151 after success in the Grade 2 Kingwell Hurdle
  • Sir Gino “is in training with Nicky Henderson and could develop into a high-class juvenile” unbeaten over hurdles and landed the Grade 1 Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree

  • SIX individual Grade 1 winners, including three multiple Grade 1-winning horses in Fact To File, Mystical Power and Spillane’s Tower.
