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.

- 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
