Jamie Snowden Stable Tour

Form profile

A winning point-to-pointer in Ireland in January. Finished runner-up, beaten nine and a half lengths, to Lost Frequencies in a bumper at Hexham in October.

Trainer says

Admiral Stewart is a lovely horse, and he obviously won his point-to-point. He looks a proper staying chaser for the future, but we thought we would start him out in a bumper. He ran well and just needed the run a little bit, but he is going to go novice hurdling now and is one to look forward to. I would have thought he would be quick enough to step up to two and a half, but he is going to be a three-mile chaser along the line.

Form profile

A winner of a bumper on her debut at Wetherby in November and subsequently finished sixth, beaten 10½ lengths, to Diva Luna in a Listed bumper at Market Rasen in February.

Trainer says

She is a sister to You Wear It Well. She won on her debut at Wetherby, looking pretty smart. We stepped her up to Listed company on her next start, but she just went lame there. She had a few growing issues with her knees - nothing sinister - but she is jumping hurdles well. We might actually start her off in the Listed bumper at Cheltenham at the Paddy Power meeting before going hurdling.

Form profile

Finished third, beaten 10 lengths, to Asian Star in a mares’ hurdle at Southwell (2m) in October.

Trainer says

She won a bumper last season, looking very good, and she likes soft ground. She ran third on her debut over hurdles and ran a nice race, and she will appreciate going up in trip and will improve for softer ground. Hopefully, we can target the Mares’ Final at Newbury in March for her.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He is by Cokoriko out of a prolific Flat winner. He is from a family of jumps winners too, and he looks a lovely, exciting horse to go in bumpers this year.

Form profile

Winner of the Grade 2 Towton Novices’ Chase at Wetherby (2m 3½f) in January when beating Trelawne by a length and three quarters, having previously finished runner-up, beaten a length and a quarter, to Le Patron in the Henry VIII Novices’ Chase at Sandown (1m 7½f) in December.

Trainer says

Colonel Harry was obviously Grade 1-placed over hurdles and fences and won a Grade 2 over fences. We will start off by giving him a prep run. I was hoping to go for the Old Roan at Aintree but with Ahoy Senor in the race it put us out of the handicap, which wasn’t ideal. We will certainly get a prep run into him and then go for the Coral Gold Cup - the same sort of route we went with Datsalrightgino. He looks really well, and I am delighted with him.

Form profile

114-rated hurdler. Made a winning debut over hurdles when scoring by four and three-quarter lengths from Onewaywest in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon (2m 3½f) in October 2023.

Trainer says

He was placed in bumpers and won a novice hurdle before placing under a penalty. He is bred to go chasing and stays very well. He jumps very nicely, and I am looking forward to seeing him in novice handicap chases this season.

Form profile

A winner of a point-to-point in Ireland in March on his second start when beating As The Fella Says by three lengths.

Trainer says

He is a pointer by Mount Nelson and is closely related to Snoopy Loopy. He should stay very well and is a brother to Complete Unknown who won the EBF Final, and he will go straight hurdling.

Form profile

Finished third, beaten four and a quarter lengths, in her point-to-point in Ireland in April.

Trainer says

She is a lovely, four-year-old filly who came from the point-to-point field. The form of her race looks pretty strong - the first two fetched plenty of money and she was third. She is out of a sister to a 130-rated mare, and she will probably start in a bumper before going hurdling.

Form profile

132-rated chaser. Made a winning debut for the stable when beating Rose Of Arcadia by four and a quarter lengths in the Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown (3m) in January before following up with a six-and-a-half-length success from Broken Halo in the Royal Artillery Gold Cup over the same course and distance in February.

Trainer says

He won the Grand Military Gold Cup and the Royal Artillery Gold Cup last year, and he will go back and try to do the double-double this year. He could also run in the Cross Country at the Cheltenham Festival.

Form profile

A winner of his English point-to-point for Will Biddick.

Trainer says

He is a lovely horse by New Approach from a Juddmonte family. He won a point-to-point at Milton St Andrews for Will Biddick, and he looks a really lovely young horse. He has done plenty of work and will run in a bumper in the next couple of weeks.

Form profile

155-rated chaser. Made a pleasing reappearance in a handicap chase at Chepstow (2m 3½f) in October when runner-up, beaten two lengths, to Grandeur D’Ame off a mark of 154.

Trainer says

He has been a legend over the years, winning the Paddy Power Gold Cup, the Rising Stars at Wincanton, and another nice handicap at Cheltenham in January on Trials Day. He had a lovely comeback run when finishing second at Chepstow and is going to go for the Paddy Power at Cheltenham.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is a sister to Guinness Affair, who won seven of his 10 starts for us. She looks a nice filly and will start off in a bumper in the spring.

Form profile

133-rated chaser. A winner of a handicap chase at Lingfield (2m 7½f) in November when beating stablemate Super Survivor by two lengths and put up some cracking performances after. Finished runner-up, beaten eight lengths, to Inothewayourthinkin in the Kim Muir Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (3m 2f) in March off a mark of 132 before ending his season by finishing third, beaten four and a half lengths, to Macdermott in the Scottish Grand National at Ayr (4m) in April off a mark of 133.

Trainer says

He has been a star over the years, winning half of his races over hurdles and fences. He ran very well last season, winning on his comeback and then finishing second in the Kim Muir to a subsequent Grade 1 winner. He was a good third in the Scottish National on ground that was too quick for him, as he loves soft ground. Hopefully he will have one prep run and then go for the Welsh National.

Form profile

113-rated hurdler. Finished runner-up, beaten eight lengths, to Swift Hawk in a handicap hurdle at Hereford (2m) in May off a mark of 114.

Trainer says

He is by Zarak and was a good Flat horse for Ian Williams. He won the Grey Bomber Series Final at Musselburgh, and we will start off over two miles with him, but we will step him up in trip as the season goes on.

Form profile

117-rated hurdler. Winner of a maiden hurdle at Worcester (2m) in September when scoring by a length from Ballytechno, and subsequently finished fifth, beaten 34 lengths, to Flying Fortune in the Grade 2 Persian War Novices’ Hurdle at Chepstow (2m 3½f) in October.

Trainer says

He did very well for us when winning on his debut at Worcester and ran very well in the Persian War. It was probably a bit much at this stage of his career, and he was still a bit green and immature. He will be winning races over hurdles, but I look forward to seeing him over fences in time.

Form profile

130-rated hurdler and chaser. Probably ran best on his reappearance in a handicap chase at Sandown (1m 7½f) in February when third, beaten nine and a quarter lengths, to Etalon off a mark of 132.

Trainer says

He was a Grade 2 novice chaser and won a good handicap at Sandown last year. The season before last was a bit of write off as he had kissing spines and gastric ulcers, but we have them sorted out and there should be a good handicap hurdle for him - something like the Imperial Cup.

Form profile

A winner of both her bumpers last season, scoring by five and a half lengths from As Legends Have It at Stratford in March before following up with a neck success from Orkney Blue in a similar event at Hexham in April.

Trainer says

She is dual bumper winner from last season and jumps hurdles very nicely. She is an exciting filly to go novice hurdling with this season.

Form profile

120-rated chaser. Made a winning debut over fences when beating Lime Drop by two lengths in a novices’ handicap chase at Kempton (2m 2f) last week.

Trainer says

He has been a little star, winning a bumper and over hurdles and placing in two Grade 2s. He always promised to be a better chaser, and he jumped well on his handicap chase debut at Kempton on Sunday to win nicely. He should progress.

Form profile

An easy winner of a point-to-point in Ireland in March.

Trainer says

She is unraced for us but won a point-to-point, and she is a nice filly who will start off in a bumper.

Form profile

Runner-up in two hurdles in France in October 2023 as well as a winner over a mile and a half at Pornichet.

Trainer says

He is by Cokoriko and was placed in three bumpers before winning a bumper in France. He was placed over hurdles as well and will go novice hurdling for us this season. He is an exciting one to look out for.

Form profile

A winner of a point-to-point in Ireland in March.

Trainer says

He is by Castle Du Berlais and out of a four-time Flat winner and a brother to a Listed jumps winner in France. He is a nice sort and won his point-to-point. He will start out in a bumper in the next couple of weeks.

Form profile

A winner of two bumpers last season, scoring by two and a half lengths from Love Tree at Stratford in November and then by two and a quarter lengths from Briefly at Chepstow in March. Also finished a creditable third, beaten four lengths, to Diva Luna in the Grade 2 mares’ bumper at Aintree in April. Made the perfect start to her hurdling career when beating Kaliom by three quarters of a length in a novice at Ludlow (2m) last Thursday.

Trainer says

La Marquise is the first Beaumec De Houelle to win in the UK, while she won twice last season and finished third in the Grade 2 mares’ race at the festival. She jumps very nicely and made a winning start over hurdles at Ludlow on Thursday. She looks an exciting prospect for hurdling this season.

Form profile

A winner of a 1m 4f maiden at Vichy in May.

Trainer says

She is another Beaumec De Houelle filly, and she won an APQS bumper at Vichy on her debut when beating a couple of subsequent winners. She looks capable of winning under a penalty before going up in class.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten six lengths, to Vocito in a novices’ hurdle at Stratford (2m ½f) in October.

Trainer says

He is a lovely Youmzain horse, and he was second in an Irish point-to-point before coming to us. He won a bumper and was quite green when finishing second on his first start over hurdles. He will progress enormously and is an exciting young horse.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He is a brother to a good horse of ours in Passing Well, and he is a lovely, big individual. He will start out in a bumper in the spring.

Form profile

Placed in two of his four starts in France over middle distances.

Trainer says

He is a lovely three-year-old gelding out of a black-type winning mare. His brother was a 141-rated hurdler, and this chap was rated 81 on the Flat over in France. He stays a mile and a half and likes soft ground. He should be a nice novice hurdler at two miles this season and will start off in the middle of November.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten a head, to Country Park in a point-to-point in Ireland in November.

Trainer says

He is a brother to Scorpion Sid, who won four of his six starts for us. He was second in a four-year-old point-to-point and is a nice recruit to the team.

Form profile

126-rated hurdler. A three-time winner last season, gaining his last success at Stratford (2m ½f) in March when beating Playful Saint by a neck off a mark of 122.

Trainer says

He has been a star really, having taken some time to come to himself over hurdles. He won three last season on heavy ground and over two miles, and there should be more to come from him.

Form profile

123-rated chaser. Gained his only victory last season in a novices’ handicap chase at Lingfield (2m 4f) in November when beating Heva Rose by a length off a mark of 122.

Trainer says

By Coastal Path, he was very one-paced as a novice hurdler in the [2022] Challow, but he won over fences last season. He subsequently picked up a niggly injury but is now back in and is nicely handicapped for chases.

Form profile

A winner of both her bumpers, scoring by two lengths from Tralee Bay in a mares’ event at Worcester in July before following up with a six-and-a-half-length success from Crazy About Her over the same course and distance in August.

Trainer says

She won two bumpers during the summer and looked pretty impressive. She didn’t beat a great deal, but she will run in the Listed bumper at the Paddy Power meeting.

Form profile

114-rated hurdler and rated 105 on the Flat. A winner of a maiden hurdle at Worcester (2m) in July when beating Manowest by eight and a half lengths before following up with a head success from King William Rufus in a novice hurdle at Fontwell (2m 1½f) in October, but was well beaten on his handicap debut at Wincanton on Sunday.

Trainer says

He was a very decent Flat horse, but he took a while to come to himself over hurdles. He didn’t have the best of luck and finished lame on his first start before getting carried out at Stratford. He has won his last two and has an opening mark of 114, which he hopefully can progress from.

Form profile

112-rated chaser. Made a winning reappearance in a handicap chase at Kempton (3m) in October when beating Almazhar Garde by three and three-quarter lengths.

Trainer says

He was a progressive novice chaser last season, winning twice, and won on his reappearance at Kempton recently. He looks the type to develop into a Racing Post contender.

Form profile

Carried out on his debut in a point-to-point in Ireland in October last year before easily winning a similar event the following month.

Trainer says

He won a point-to-point and will start over hurdles at Christmas time. He looks a good stayer in the making.

Form profile

117-rated chaser. Impressed when scoring by two and a quarter lengths from Next Left in a novices’ handicap chase on his reappearance at Southwell (2m 4½f) last Thursday.

Trainer says

He has been a legend of a horse and is a very nice individual. He is a brother to Adrastos, who won seven races for us, and he looked very good last week when winning over fences at Southwell.

Form profile

128-rated chaser and 124-rated hurdler. Finished runner-up, beaten 25 lengths, to Tanganyika in a handicap hurdle at Newbury (3m) in March off a mark of 125.

Trainer says

He has been a nice horse for us, winning over hurdles and fences. We stepped into the Welsh National probably a year too soon, and his season fell apart after that. We are currently rebuilding his confidence on the back of that, but he might be an Eider horse.

Form profile

An easy winner of his point-to-point in Ireland in May.

Trainer says

He is by Mount Nelson out of a sister to Grumeti, and he bolted up in his Irish point-to-point. He is another who will start off in a bumper in November.

Form profile

109-rated chaser. Finished third, beaten 16½ lengths, to Tedley in a novices’ handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m) in October.

Trainer says

Torneo was a good juvenile hurdler and wasn’t beaten far by Sir Gino at Kempton over Christmas before winning at Wetherby. He is going four-year-old chasing, and he will improve for finishing third on his chase debut.

Form profile

A winner of bumpers at Hexham in November and Catterick in January. Finished runner-up, beaten a length, to Battle Born Lad in a novice hurdle at Hexham (2m) in October.

Trainer says

He is a beautiful horse who won two bumpers last season and looked really good. He got beaten on his hurdling debut but didn’t do a great deal wrong and will improve for that, and he can progress as the season goes on. He is a nice young horse.

Form profile

142-rated hurdler. Made a winning reappearance in a Listed mares’ hurdle at Wetherby (2m) last November and ran well when placed in better company afterwards.

Trainer says

She has been a legend and is Grade 2-winning hurdler and a Cheltenham Festival-winning mare. She came out last season and won a Listed race before running well in Graded company after. She is going novice chasing and jumps fences very well. She is going to start off in a Listed race at Bangor in November.
