    I know theres a long time till Cheltenham 09 but anyone care to mention a horse they think is worth following this year?

    I'm about as original as they come so i think Jered, Cousin Vinny and Ashkazar will turn up prominent at Cheltenham. Any thoughts?

    It's probably a bit easy to say it after he won yesterday, but Snap Tie ran a great race on Champion Hurdle day and has now stepped up from novice hurdling to racing the big boys. He could have a very good season.

    Gwanako is another. Nicholls' horse looks like it might go over fences this season, so keep an eye out.

    It's hard to see Inglis Drever winning again this year if the flat form of Kazbah Bliss is anything to go by. They fought out a great finish to the World Hurdle this year, but KB should be the better next time.

    Denman for the Gold Cup and possibly the Grand National if he maintains his excellent jumping and defies what will probably be top-weight.

    Neptune Collonges to win some good races.

    Voy Por Ustedes is stepping up in distance. After destroying Master Minded at Aintree over 2m4f, he's going to stay at that distance. Jumps beautifully.

    Tidal Bay should be good again even though he's coming out of novice company to join the big chasers.

    Nine De Sivola for long distance races, especially novice races. Im going to back him for Grand National if gets in.

    Cousin Vinny, cant see this getting beat, looked really good last season.

    I actually think 2 brilliant horses ran yesterday, snap tie and katchit. Katchit still to win Champ Hurdle with Snap Tie and Pierrot Lunaire behind.

    Big price for Champion Chase would have to 20-1 on Well Chief, if can get back anywhere near best form after injury then this is far too big.

    Albertas Run to continue improving.

    Also look out for horses that were missing last year including Aran Concerto, Massini's Maguire, Goodbye Simon to name a few.
