I have studied this race for around 40 minutes, and I have struggled to make a case for anything else to beat him

Just because it is Ascot week doesn’t mean that there aren’t other good meetings to enjoy, especially in France.

There doesn’t appear to be an enormous amount of depth to this year’s 3-year-old crop, and he could develop into one of the better types.

The yard have had 9 winners and 39 placings from their 57 runners in 2023 and he looks like a horse who is likely to add to that tally.

The chances are fairly slim, but there is always the possibility that we could see a Triumph hurdle contender at Auteuil this weekend.

The form book will say that he finished 4th in a 5-year-olds and over conditions hurdle, but that doesn't begin to tell the story.

Struggling for Christmas Present ideas? Why not buy your loved ones a Juvenile hurdler? Thursdays 3YO hurdle at Dieppe looks a good place...

The best chaser in training, a Triumph hurdle contender and an Old Warrior who is a big price in the feature race, what's not to like?

She is lightly raced over hurdles and I do have a soft spot for Fillies who know how to win races.

Two French horses both making their debuts in the same race at Bangor-on-Dee this Wednesday, but what are their chances?

Given that he is likely to be doing his best work at the finish, he should make a winning start to his British career.

4 French horses make their British debuts on the same day, including a 4-year-old with a very famous uncle.

I will not be backing him to make a winning Irish debut at Galway on Sunday, but he could be one for next time.

Now trained by Gary Moore, he has the profile of a good horse, but what is his French form is actually worth?

I don't think that I have ever been asked "which horses could develop into decent 3-mile chasers in a few years?"

He has a much better record than the 0-4 on his form book page would suggest, including a 2-length 3rd placed finish behind Sel Jem

He looks to be a superb prospect for the Christian Williams yard and I am certain that there are races to be won with him this season.

A newcomer at Punchestown this Tuesday who represents some famous connections who are coming back into the game.

His dam is a half-sister to Cyrname, so there is ability in this family and even if today is not the day, he is a horse to look out for.

I am so pleased to be able to share this Antepost market preview in conjunction with he guys from "The Jumps Show".
