    Stable tours & Horses To Follow National Hunt season 2020 / 2021

    As usual been building a list for the annual TTF Competition (assuming we find sponsors ) and no doubt a few to add to the current list of 262 horses I have before pruning down right to the last minute when the dreaded OFS news is leaked. I've been bookmarking a few pages as I've come across them so here's some of them to read before you ignore them

    The first takes a novel approach as none of these horses won last season

    https://overandclear.com/2020/08/05/...ses-to-follow/

    The second is a list from the 888Sport site

    https://overandclear.com/2020/08/05/...ses-to-follow/

    Next up is a list of the Grade One races this season in calendar order and by clicking on the race you will be presented with the latest form and trends for that race, updated as the race gets closer

    https://www.thestatsdontlie.com/hors...-hunt/grade-1/

    Fourth is a list of horses compiled by Ruby Walsh four months ago with next year's Festival in mind

    https://news.paddypower.com/horse-ra...by-walsh-tips/

    And finally for now 5 early selections from Ireland for next March, I have Dynamite Dollars in my list too but I seem to remember he died unless I've mixed him up with another Nicholls inmate

    Thanks for the reading Roger.

    And I'm happy to sponsor the TTF again this year.

    Sizing John might be out as early as next Sunday at Listowel
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Unfortunately Dynamite Dollars was a casualty a few months back

    Is it me or are there a lot less 'to follow' lists around this year?

    In my head the stable tours start in the second half of September, and we normally have a whole lot of 'to follow' lists appearing at the beginning of September.

    No NH after Cheltenham might be the reason

    Ruby's list on PP is either the most unimaginative list of all time or some intern wrote it months ago

    Regardless of who wrote it, it was written in March.
