HORSES TO FOLLOW 2023
FLAT ISSUE COMING SOON!
50 WINNERS IN WAITING
Success stories for HTF from last year included:
"... everything about him was progressive and he remains relatively unexposed, so it will be a surprise if he doesn’t pick up a high-end handicap or two this season…”
HTF 2022 inclusion, ANMAAT won on all three starts last season, including the John Smith's Cup at 5/1
"... expectation that he’ll make a much better three-year-old once he figures things out fully... will be well suited by distances in excess of a mile this year"
Horses to follow all season: having stepped up in trip, WOOTTON'SUN won at 9/1 on season debut – and again at the same price six starts later
DESERT CROWN: "Rare two-year-old to win first time out for his trainer and could hardly have won in better style..."
ELDAR ELDAROV: "was all the rage for his debut and duly won in the manner of a colt destined for better things..."
Both the Derby and St Leger Winners were marked out in our shortlisted ten to follow
Derby winner tipped at 40/1 in 2022 issue!
As well as our 50 to follow, you'll find ante-post best bets for the Guineas, Oaks and Derby from one of our Flat experts, Features Writer John Ingles – whose selections last year proved nothing short of inspired.
As well as tipping the 2000 Guineas winner, Coroebus at 5/1, John put up the two horses who were eventually sent off shortest for the Derby, at huge prices. Whilst Stone Age – backed into 7/2 from an advised price of 50/1 – couldn't quite match his SP in 6th, John's first selection, Desert Crown won 5/2f, having been tipped at 40/1.
A TASTE OF 2023
"made a mockery of his opening BHA mark of 93... still looks one step ahead of the handicapper... he’ll be suited by the top-end handicaps at around a mile, with a race such as the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot appealing as a suitable target. A step up in grade will surely await beyond that"
With mentions of specific targets for some, the book aims to point you towards horses appealing as capable of sustained improvement
"... didn’t run badly in seventh in a hot contest... the bare facts of him beating just two in ninth don’t tell the full story... should be competitive from a BHA mark of 85 another time, not least once he learns to race more professionally... looks the type to thrive in well-run handicaps at around 1m in 2023""
As well as those tipped for better things, our experts make the argument for others likely to go under the radar – and the circumstances under which they might prosper
