I think he is the most exciting French recruit we have seen so far this season.

Both of these recruits look more than capable of winning Juvenile hurdles in the UK based on what they achieved in France.

I have tried to put together a list of 10 French horses that I think will win races this season.

There are a couple of advised bets where I think that I can find an angle into a couple of the races at Nantes.

I have a basic rule with the ground on the hurdles track, wherever James Reveley chooses to ride is usually the best ground on offer.

Once this weekends meeting at Paris Longchamp is over the attention will quickly move on to the Jumpers again and there were...

Here are the time comparisons for all of the 9 races run at Auteuil on Tuesday, as well as the speed ratings for the hurdles races.

He is likely to be a very short price next time, but I'd need to see him produce a better set of numbers before I would want to get stuck in

In the Spring, only Jigme ran to a rating of 100 or more, but in the last 5-days there have been 7 Juveniles who have all gone beyond him.

This was the fastest 3-year-old hurdle that I have recorded this year.

Isn't it wonderful to have the Racing return at Auteuil? The autumn season gets underway on Friday afternoon.

As we head into September it will soon be time for the new National Hunt season.

I have actually had a small bet on this horse to win the Triumph hurdle.

This is an easy case to make. A Juvenile hurdler who has already won a Graded hurdle in France by showing a great attitude.

He's a Flat recruit who was bred by the Aga Khan and there is every chance that he could turn into a leading prospect for Paul Nicholls.

His latest run, when he produced the fastest final circuit time on the card, would certainly suggest that he is fair value for his mark.

If I was an odds compiler and I had to form a market for the 2024 Triumph hurdle, this horse would be my Antepost favourite.

It's that time of year again. Welcome to the 2023 French Recruits series.

Horses with solid form in the provinces can either be overlooked or at least under assessed when they come to race on a Premium track.

Losing so many good prospects to the UK and Ireland is not ideal, but the assumption that every good French hurdler leaves is clearly wrong.
