Jump Start Your Season

Whether you're a regular to our Horses to Follow books, or this is your first time purchasing, get a taste for inside below... 

"Strong stayer who has already shown smart form over fences but could do even better over marathon trips in major handicaps"

Our writers will highlight the horses capable of sustained improvement and, for some, specific targets for them this season.

"Strong-travelling type who proved a model of consistency over hurdles and, having swapped one top stable for another over the summer, looks a novice chaser to follow."

As well as those tipped for great things, our experts make the argument for others likely to go under the radar – and the circumstances under which they might prosper.

"Likely to excel in staying chases down the line but showed enough ability in bumpers to suggest he can win novice hurdles in the North."

Don't just take it from us...

The 2024/25 Jumps Edition is rated 4.5 out of 5 stars, check out some Amazon reviews from thrilled customers who purchased the previous edition:

“This book is a great guide to the new jump racing season and I am sure it will have plenty of winners to keep us all interested all season long."

 

“Anybody who follows National Hunt horse racing would benefit from reading this publication."

 

“Looking forward to the coming jumps season and this book has quality write ups about many of the horses likely to feature throughout the season."

 

 

Highlights from last season's Jumps HTF included:

 

“Myretown, who like Ahoy Senor is a winning pointer by Dylan Thomas, showed plenty of ability during a light campaign over hurdles last season and looks likely to flourish over fences…but he’s certainly one to be positive about on the whole, and it’s not hard to imagine this front-runner taking plenty of his rivals out of their comfort zone.”

MYRETOWN enjoyed a great campaign using his front running tactics to win three times last season, including the Ultimate Handicap Chase (13/2) at the Cheltenham Festival. 

 

"Only one win to his name so far but has run well in defeat, including at the last two Cheltenham Festivals, and appeals as the type to improve his strike rate when going over fences.”

Despite a sole win in his career before making it into The Fifty, LECKY WATSON won three of four starts last season, including the Grade 1 Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase at Chelteham at 20/1!
