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.

The first of the 3-year-old handicaps on Sundays card saw a fast time and the highest ratings of any horses in the last 2-weeks.

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.

With a more prominent ride next time, he should be more than capable of winning a similar race from his current handicap mark.

Once I looked through the results and the ratings for todays meeting it became clear that there were 2 outstanding performances

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.

The absence is a concern, but that has been factored into the price and the booking of Mickael Barzalona should only be viewed as a positive

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.

If able to get within a few lengths on the lead, she should have too much speed where it matters.

I think it is highly likely that Broadfield and High Record will end this season rated higher then Not Alone and Taybet

I'm sure that he has the ability to win a Group 1 race and I can't wait to see him run again, he's the type of horse that we all love to see

He is the most likely winner and the most likely to end up a group horse.

There is a small chance that we could see a Derby contender on Monday and they aren't running at the Curragh.

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

My mathematics teachers always used to say that you should show your working out, so here is mine.

Feed the Flame has the potential to be a pattern class 3-year-old and so I’ll take a chance on him.

This 3-year-old maiden for newcomers looked the most significant on paper and so it proved.
