Mark Howard and One Jump Ahead

I received my copy of One Jump Ahead and have been working through updating my horses to follow. The publication is excellent value at £7.99 and if you have never purchased a copy I thoroughly recommend that you pop into WH Smiths and grab yourself one. I subscribe to the updates but I would not say they were as such good value. They are not bad value it's just the book is VERY good value!

I look forward to articles by Declan Phelan and Anthony Bromley as well as Mark's top 40. With regard the latter you have to respect his view since he interviewed connections and he is experienced enough to be able to read between the lines and to recognise the relative strengths of a trainers views.

I am awaiting John Morris's Jumping Prospects and will blog my thoughts in due course.

Nothing new to report on Cheltenham and no new updates on my website www.cheltenhamchampions.com but I am pleased with the level of interest, particulalry for the free October trial.

I would say that looking forward to the festival, the novice events are looking as competitive as ever.

I have also started to update my Aintree stats and was surprised at a couple of things which has prompted me to look to try to set some time aside to go into the trends in much more detail. Most of my work is geared towards Cheltenham and I have normally lost interest come April but it seems there could be some good angles to take forward from Cheltenham to Aintree.
