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.

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.

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

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?"

When their mating plans were conceived, it would have been a very big price that either of them would end up running in hurdle races.

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.
