Jumpers to follow books, if you could only buy one, which one would you buy Paul Ferguson's or Mark Howard's?

Any others worth taking a look at?

This was the first year I bought both and would say Marks is slightly better as it just seams to have more depth to it. Both are worth buying in my opinion. That Jodie Stading P2P Recruits book is good it’s nice to get another opinion specific to P2P.

Will definitely revert back to all 3 a lot this season

Absolute Notions staying over hurdles, Teahupoo possibly debut Hattons Grace then straight to Cheltenham for stayers. Irish Point may start WKD Hurdle Down Royal if he doesn’t go there he could go to the Hattons Grace as well the 3m Christmas hurdle at Xmas but Rob does think 2.5 is his optimum trip.

confirmed Qualamita DRF bumper is main target would be very unlikely to be a Cheltenham horse. Undeniable Alibi another one Rob is very excited about for bumpers said he could be an A player for Gordon’s, again owners don’t like the champion bumper.

Yeah really surprised. I wonder if they are being extremely cautious with their better horses given the apparent effect of fences on Bob's career.

Yea surprised myself. Managed to snip some fancy stayers price but I suspect Exar Essay hoover it up too :glee:

Could definitely see 2 of the 3 Robcour turning up in the stayers. Watched over last years tour and Rob was very adamant they don’t aim to split their horses, the horse will go to whatever race suits even if they have one already for it.

Undeniable Alibi I got word was staying in bumpers which made him redundant to me this year as they usually avoid Cheltenham bumper. He’ll have to be another to place onto next years list.

Maybe, I'm wrong as they've said Bob may go back over fences! But if he doesn't show his form of old, he may be retired :grumpy:

RR on Lossiemouth....

“She’s a lovely horse and we won’t campaign her the same way we did with Vauban as it’s just too hard for them coming out of juvenile company,” the Champion Hurdle-winning owner said. “We think she is a very special filly.
“We think she is a Champion Hurdle filly, but I’d say we’ll go down the Mares’ Hurdle route this year and then the Champion Hurdle the season after.

“She is a top-class filly, maybe one of the best I have owned, and remember I have had Annie Power and Benie Des Dieux."

High praise indeed.

When was this quote from please as I listened to Spectre tiktok video today on the Mares Hurdle and his opinion was that Lossiemouth would not end up in the Mares?

From more recent...

What you'll probably find is that people feel she's a 2 miler, so up in trip won't win this race.

An Echoes In Rain type....


She's short enough for a horse that doesn't look like wants to go up in trip yet.


That's what I think you'll get coming back :barbershop_quartet_member:
