Brian Ellison Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of four of his 25 starts and currently rated 124 over hurdles. Finished ninth, beaten 30 lengths, to Christopher Wood in the Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh (1m 7 1/2f) in February off his current mark.

Trainer says

He wants better ground and last time at Musselburgh it just got too soft. That was his first run for us, and he will leave that effort behind in time.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 27 starts and currently rated 125 over fences. Finished third, beaten nine lengths, to Joke Dancer in a handicap chase at Wetherby (1m 7f) off a mark of 127.

Trainer says

He is another who doesn't like soft ground and he is back after a break. He will have a better ground campaign and he likes Wetherby.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 11 starts and currently rated 124 over fences. Finished third, beaten 34 lengths, to Eclair D'Ainay in a novices’ handicap chase at Kelso (2m 1f) in February off a mark of 126.

Trainer says

He ran a reasonable race at Kelso last time and to be fair to him he wants better ground. He's just had his wind done again.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 22 starts and rated 130 over hurdles and 69 on the Flat. Gained his last success in a novices' hurdle at Fakenham (2m) in October when beating Medalla De Oro five and a half lengths.

Trainer says

He has had a bit of a break as he's another who is just back in. He will have a jump and flat campaign and doesn't mind a little bit juice in the ground.

Form profile

Winner of 15 of his 36 starts and currently rated 158 over fences. Fell at the 11th when prominent in the Listed Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle (2m 7 1/2f) in November off his current mark. Gained his last success when beating Kauto Riko 14 lengths in a Listed Chase at Kelso (2m 7 1/2f) at the end of February last year.

Trainer says

He goes to Kelso on Saturday for the same race he won last year. He is in good form and he was also fourth in the Becher Chase at Aintree last season and the National would be in mind.

Form profile

No wins from 3 runs over hurdles. Finished third, beaten 21 lengths, to Omar Maretti in a novices’ hurdle at Catterick (2m) on Tuesday.

Trainer says

He ran at Catterick earlier in the week and he just needs to learn to settle. He is a bit keen but once he settles, he will be find and will win races.

Form profile

One on from 3 runs in bumpers in Ireland. Made a winning debut at Punchestown last September when beating Sam's Choice five lengths.

Trainer says

He has come to me from Ireland and he ran on soft ground, but he is another who wants good ground. He will have an entry in April time.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 2 bumpers. Off the mark on his debut at Newcastle in January when beating Okavango Delta a neck.

Trainer says

I think he might go to Aintree for the bumper. He won first time out at Newcastle and then they absolutely crawled there the second time. He will probably have a flat campaign after that.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 26 starts and currently rated 122 over fences. Best effort this term when finishing third, beaten 12 lengths, to Stoner's Choice in a novices' hurdle at Carlisle (2m 1f) in October.

Trainer says

He is another who has been waiting for better ground and he runs at Sedgfield on Sunday. He is in good fettle and the two and a half mile trip will suit him.

Form profile

No wins from 6 starts. Finished fourth, beaten 10 1/2 lengths, to Mackenberg on latest start in a Jumpers bumper at Newcastle in February.

Trainer says

He is in next week and he is another who just wants good ground. He has run well on good ground and bad on bad ground.

Form profile

Flat. Gained his last success at Southwell (1m 6f) in November when beating Mr Carbonator a neck off a mark of 46.

Trainer says

He is another to come back in who wants better ground. He won at Southwell, but he doesn't really like it.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 8 starts for Nicky Henderson and currently rated 145 over fences. Finished fourth, beaten 13 1/2 lengths, to Lostintranslation in the Grade 1 Mildmay Novices' Chase at Aintree (3m 1f) in April 2019.

Trainer says

He has had two year off and he is due to run in a month's time. He's a really nice horse, is rated 145 and he will be running in nice three-mile chases.

Form profile

Winner of five of her 12 starts and currently rated 139 over hurdles. Winner of four of her 6 starts this season and took the illustrious scalp of Verdana Blue when gaining her last success in a listed mares’ hurdle at Wetherby (2m) in October.

Trainer says

Mrs Hyde has had a break she had six runs early on and she wants better ground. She has come back in now and she will probably have a run on the Flat as well. She put up a great performance when beating Verdana Blue in a listed mares’ at Wetherby in October but Cheltenham was never really on the agenda for her."

Form profile

Winner of 10 of his 52 starts and currently rated 134 over fences. Finished third, beaten 13 3/4 lengths, to Sky Pirate when last seen out in a handicap chase at Cheltenham (2m 1/2f) in December off a mark of 135.

Trainer says

He will run at Cheltenham in either the Ultima or the Paddy Power Plate. He is in brilliant form after his break and went to Southwell on Wednesday for some work. He is very well in himself and goes well when fresh.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 17 starts and currently rated 112 over fences. Finished runner-up, beaten five and a half lengths, to Dubai Angel at Musselburgh (2m 6f) last month off a mark of 110.

Trainer says

He goes for a final of a series at either Carlisle or Newbury at the end of March. He has been running well and has just been a little bit unlucky and hopefully will have his day.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 33 starts and currently rated 115 over fences. Finished runner-up, beaten two and a quarter lengths, to Miss Amelia in a handicap chase at Carlisle (2m) in February off a mark of 113.

Trainer says

He runs at the next meeting at Ayr. He ran well behind Miss Amelia at Carlisle last time and she won again at Catterick on Monday, so the form is looking good. He hasn't won for three years but we feel his right now and we have got him back.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 12 starts and currently rated 112 over hurdles. Has shown promise in three runs in 'Jumpers' Bumpers' at Newcastle since the turn of the year and finished fourth, beaten five and a quarter lengths, to Who's My Jockey latest in February.

Trainer says

She's been unlucky really and she is a nice filly. She will probably end up going novice chasing. She just wants better ground and we have been waiting for that for her and she's a lovely mare.

Form profile

Made a successful debut when beating Jomont a length in a bumper at Newcastle in February.

Trainer says

He won first time out and runs in a bumper at Doncaster on Saturday. He is very well in himself and he is a nice horse.

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 21 starts and currently rated 147 over fences. Scored by four lengths from Sojourn in the Tommy Whittle Chase at Haydock (3m 1 1/2f in December off mark of 133 and gained his most prestigious success when battling on dourly to score by three quarters of a length from Crossley Tender in the Eider Handicap Chase at Newcastle (4m 1 1/2f) last Saturday off a mark of 139.

Trainer says

He was brilliant on Saturday and he is going to have an entry in the Scottish National. We were going to finish him for the year, but we will see what the ground is like and if it is fast ground he obviously wouldn't go. He was really brave, and we have more messages from well-wishers for winning any other race, but he really dug deep and showed a lot of guts.

Form profile

Winner of 10 of his 55 starts and currently rated 138 over hurdles. Gained his last success in a ‘Jumpers’ Bumper’ at Newcastle in January when beating Irish Roe a length.

Trainer says

He has been given a break since January but is another who has just come back in. He will mix it with hurdling and the Flat and he wins every year.

Form profile

Winner of five of his 28 starts and currently rated 129 over hurdles. Better effort in two runs in Jumpers’ Bumpers this year when runner-up, beaten a length and three quarters, to Newtown Boy at Newcastle in January.

Trainer says

He has run in couple of Jumpers’ Bumpers and has had a month easy work. He is another who wants better ground, and he will be out in the spring. He's the sort that will always win his share of races.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 15 starts and currently rated 133 over fences. Finished fifth in a Jumpers' Bumper at Newcastle in February and ran a cracker in the Castleford Handicap Chase at Wetherby (1m 7f) over Christmas when third, beaten three quarters of a length, to First Flow off his current mark.

Trainer says

He is another who ran in a Jumpers' Bumper and he is Aintree bound. He tends to be better when fresh and will go for the two mile handicap chase there.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 8 starts and currently rated 125 over hurdles. Finished third, beaten 18 1/2 lengths, to Alaphilippe in the Grade 2 Albert Bartlett Prestige Novices’ Hurdle at Haydock (3m 1/2f) in February.

Trainer says

He ran ok in a Grade 2 Haydock last time, but I think he wants more use making of him as he just gallops and gallops. He's over 17 hands and we think he will be a much better chaser next year.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 15 starts and currently rated 146. Finished sixth, beaten 18 1/2 lengths, to Dashel Drasher in a handicap chase at Ascot (2m 5f) in January off a mark of 147 when last seen out.

Trainer says

He runs at Newbury on Saturday in a two mile five handicap chase. He has had his wind done and we are going to put a tongue strap on him for the first time. He was basically holding back a bit and hopefully that will help him.
