Jumpers to Note 2024/25

Dunnet Head was on his handicap debut today at Kelso. On rotten ground and with a lot of fences to jump he was ridden very patiently in the rear. Loomed into challenging position when pecked on landing two out and that finished his race and he was just brought home gently.
 
Alexei runs Taunton 1.35 Thursday. Not much of a price but he couldn’t have won easier last time despite it being a poor race. Spoke to Tom Malone (bloodstock agent who bought him from Germany for Brocade Racing) a couple of weeks ago and he confirmed that he’s potentially very useful and could well be a group horse by end of the season.
 
You've made me have a quick look at that race, jinnyj.

I reckon Pigeon House sets a fair standard (OR 133) for a Taunton novice hurdle and at 12/1 compared with 6/5 your fella have backed it ew.

I did consider him for my tracker I think he jumped well in the main.

I liked Fire Flyer for Nicholls at Exeter last Friday. Quite a big chaser and for some reason I always think these types aren't really suited to that track. He didn't have the speed of the winner but should win a handicap over further.

I wasn’t wrong......😉
 
A quiet one that escaped me due to my lurgy:
No Drama This End - won the bumper at Warwick today. I saw him win his point to point at Badbury RIngs last year and he had the Wow factor as soon as he walked into the paddock. He won very impressively that day he (trained and ridden by Will Biddick) and he was promptly bought by Paul Nicholls. To say he's nice is an understatement! Sounds like his trainer is pretty keen on him too!

Well if their PE is anything like the ITV one, I’d ignore! He’s only four(well technically five as of today) but he’s got a serious engine.
 
Rather liked Our Boy Stan who finished second on debut in the bumper today at Cheltenham to a Henrietta Knight horse (how on earth did that go off 16-1 when it had already run with promise on its previous start?). Anyway OBS is a nice type who’s very well related (dam won five times) and although running green, he stayed on well. Think he will have learnt a lot and I look forward to him over hurdles. Trained by Ben Pauling.
