Has anyone bought any of these or anything similar? Are they any use?

Colonel Sanders

I find Mark Howard's One Jump Ahead book second to none when it comes to these type of guides & I've read most of them in my time

The Timeform 50 to follow is decent enough too. I find the Wetherby's Cheltenham betting guide excellent but am not as big a fan of the NH season version. I bought the racingpost guide a few years back & didn't think much of it tbh.

Bit late to buy them now IMO, most of the "dark horses" will already have had their cover blown.

Overthelast

The Guide to the Jumps 2011-2012 has short profiles on all 400 runners in the tote ten to follow competition supplemented with the usual mix of stable tours/tipster selections. I've bought it for the last 4 or 5 yrs. 6/10.

I purchased the Racing & Football Outlook this year for the 1st time and am still reading it. 7/10.

Didn't get the annual but I've stuck it on the Christmas wishlist for the Mrs to buy

There is often a bit of overlap with the publications from the RP site, but if your anything like the average NH fan, you'll enjoy reading them - think they're about €10 each at beginning of season and then drop in price as the season progresses. There are muplti-buy options also on the rp site.
