National Hunt Horses to Follow

Well I have finally finished my initial list of horses to follow for the 2009/10 season. Of course the list will be added to and deleted from as the season progresses, (primarily based on form and stable tours), but the initial work has been completed.

There is a list of 50+ horses to follow and a further list of horses to watch. The top 5 for me are: -

BENSALEM
BINOCULAR
MASTER OF ARTS
QUWETWO
TRAFFORD LAD

I will be cautious about how I back my 50, in that I am prepared to leave their debut run unbacked. This is because the more hyped horses can go off too short and it is dificult to know which stables are in form and which horses are fit. However some horses do well first time out and these will be an exception to my rule as will a stable firing and who have a good record fto. After the first run I would be looking to back on their next three starts, where conditions are in their favour, stopping at a winner.
