Harry Derham Stable Tour: 2026/26 Jumps Season Preview
Six-year-old gelding. Nutan x Larmina
OLBG Racing Club
Winner on the flat in Germany and over difficulties in Britain before being purchased privately for The OLBG Racing Club which is gone to support Harry Derham Racing. Placed 5 times for present connections, ranked 124.
Chasing typically assists horses who take a trip really well over difficulties and don't rather see out the journey. There are 12 jumps in a two-mile chase, compared to 8 in a hurdle, and that will certainly help Lario. He has the size and scope to do well over fences. I'm hoping that chasing after highlights improvement, as I do not think we've seen the very best of him yet. Could begin at Chepstow on the 5th of November.
You can follow Lario and 2 other horses in training with Harry Derham Racing for simply ₤ 10 monthly per horse with the OLBG Racing Club. As well as weekly e-mails loaded complete of news, you'll get access to backyard check outs, draws for owners badges and a calendar of unique events.
UPDATE: Won a Beginners Chase at Haydock on 20th December, producing a brilliant round of leaping on his chase launching. "He jumped perfectly today, entered into a charming rhythm. Hopefully he can make into a genuine good chaser." - Harry
UPDATE: Sadly suffered a life ending injury at Doncaster on 23rd January
Jus de Citron
Six-year-old gelding. Saint Des Saints x Rapide I.
Edward Ware Esq
. Won on his launching for the backyard in a Newbie Hurdle at Doncaster and ended up third on just other run last season. Rated 117.
He suffered a quite bad obstacle last season and now has 5 screws in his cannon bone. He is back cantering quietly, and we are going for his return after Christmas. He is an actually good jumper, and I am anticipating him going chasing. I believe on decent ground, he can make up into a great handicap chase possibility.
UPDATE: Finished 7th of 10 in a Handicap Hurdle at Kempton on 26th December
UPDATE: Finished 3rd of 7 on chasing after launching in a Novice Handicap Chase at Newcastle on 15th January
UPDATE: Finished 3rd of 7 in a Handicap Chase at Musselburgh on 15th February
Norn Iron
Seven-year-old gelding. Soldier of Fortune x Coco Des Champs.
Mr Paul Kelly.
One win and 3 runner up spots last season to progress to a handicap mark of 118.
He is absolutely going chasing this season. He was always an appropriate jumper of obstacles, so I believe going after will draw out some enhancement. Since front-running matched him in his last race, perhaps that will be his tactic over fences. He most likely won't run before Newbury at the end of November/early December in a novice handicap chase.
UPDATE: Finished second of 9 on chasing debut in a Beginners' Handicap Chase at Warwick on 11th December.
UPDATE: Finished 3rd of 4 in a Novices Handicap Chase at Windsor on 1st January
UPDATE: Impressive winner of a Novices' Limited Handicap Chase at Sandown on 31st January
UPDATE: Won a Handicap Chase in great design at Sandown on 7th March

Seven-year-old mare. Getaway x Gambling Girl.
Frost and Galvin.
Two time NHF winner and 3 time hurdle winner consisting of a noted mares amateur race. Ran two times at the Cheltenham Festival (23 Champion Bumper, 25 Mares Hurdle). Rated 134.
She's had a sorrowful summer involving two bouts of really . It was looking exceptionally not likely she was going to get back, so it's terrific to have her back. She is a gifted mare and is going to go chasing this season. We are yet to school her as she is presently even more behind in her preparation.
UPDATE: Finished 3rd in a Listed Mares' Novices' Chase at Bangor on 12th November

Brentford Hope
Eight-year-old gelding. Camelot x Miss Raven.
The Optimists.
One time antepost preferred for the Derby, 3 time winner on the flat and 5 time winner over obstacles. Runner approximately Constitution Hill at Cheltenham in January. Rated 139 over obstacles. 100 on the flat.
Brentford Hope remains in good nick, we simply need the ground to be right. We are going to offer newbie going after a go and if that doesn't work out we can go back to hurdles.
