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 obstacles in Britain before being bought privately for The OLBG Racing Club which is run to support Harry Derham Racing. Placed 5 times for existing connections, rated 124.


Chasing typically helps horses who take a trip really well over obstacles and don't quite see out the trip. There are 12 dives in a two-mile chase, compared to eight in an obstacle, which will definitely help Lario. He has the size and scope to do well over fences. I'm hoping that chasing draws out enhancement, as I don't believe we've seen the finest of him yet. Could begin at Chepstow on the 5th of November.


You can follow Lario and two other horses in training with Harry Derham Racing for just ₤ 10 each month per horse with the OLBG Racing Club. In addition to weekly e-mails loaded full of news, you'll get access to yard visits, draws for owners badges and a calendar of unique occasions.


UPDATE: Won a Beginners Chase at Haydock on 20th December, producing a fantastic round of getting on his chase launching. "He jumped perfectly today, entered into a beautiful rhythm. Hopefully he can make into a real 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 debut for the yard in a Novice Hurdle at Doncaster and ended up third on only other run last season. Rated 117.


He suffered a quite bad setback last season and now has five screws in his cannon bone. He is back cantering quietly, and we are going for his return after Christmas. He is a truly great jumper, and I am eagerly anticipating him going chasing. I think on decent ground, he can make up into a great handicap chase prospect.


UPDATE: Finished 7th of 10 in a Handicap Hurdle at Kempton on 26th December


UPDATE: Finished 3rd of 7 on chasing 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 three runner up spots last season to progress to a handicap mark of 118.


He is absolutely going chasing this season. He was constantly an appropriate jumper of obstacles, so I believe chasing after will bring out some improvement. Since front-running matched him in his last race, perhaps that will be his method over fences. He most likely will not run before Newbury at the end of November/early December in a novice handicap chase.


UPDATE: Finished second of 9 on chasing after launching in an Amateurs' 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 good design at Sandown on 7th March


Queens Gamble


Seven-year-old mare. Getaway x Gambling Girl.
Frost and Galvin.
Two time NHF winner and 3 time difficulty winner including 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 summertime including two bouts of extremely bad colic. It was looking exceptionally unlikely 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 currently even more behind in her preparation.


UPDATE: Finished 3rd in a Listed Mares' Novices' Chase at Bangor on 12th November


UPDATE: Finished 3rd of 6 in a Novices' Limited Handicap Chase at Musselburgh on 1st February


UPDATE: Won a Listed Mares' Novices Chase at on 14th February


UPDATE: Finished second of 5 in a Handicap Chase at Doncaster on 28th February


Brentford Hope


Eight-year-old gelding. Camelot x Miss Raven.
The Optimists.
One time antepost favourite for the Derby, 3 time winner on the flat and 5 time winner over difficulties. Runner approximately Constitution Hill at Cheltenham in January. Rated 139 over difficulties. 100 on the flat.


Brentford Hope is in great nick, we simply need the ground to be right. We are going to offer beginner chasing after a go and if that doesn't work out we can return to hurdles.
