This purchase has slipped under the radar this summer, but it could prove to be a very shrewd piece of business.

As the month of August draws to a close, we are now within a few weeks of the start of another National Hunt season.

One of the quieter pieces of business done by the JP McManus this summer, but a quality purchase with the future in mind.

"She seems a nice filly, being by Great Pretender we hadn't got much choice but to buy her given our luck with Fillies from the Sire".

He is from a consistent family that know how to win races and he should provide his new connections with some success in his novice campaign

I believe him to be the best Juvenile hurdler to have joined a British yard this Summer and I expect him to prove it.

This could look like a "Sam Allardyce Bargain Buy" if all goes well for Evan Williams.

It is never too late to be thinking about finding the winner of the Triumph hurdle.

Adam makes his second appearance on the Final Furlong Podcast, this time looking at some of the older French recruits and how they have...

The PDF contains basic data on how they were prepared for the festival, where they were sourced from and how high they ultimately reached.

I have been collating some data on Willie Mullins' runners in the Novice races at the Cheltenham Festival in the last decade.

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.

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.
