| Sire: Witness Box (USA) |
| Dam: Some Gossip |
| Owner(s): Simpson & Castledine & Ian Murray |
Comments: A very athletic looking individual who loves the mud, beaten a neck in his first start in heavy ground at Chepstow, having drawn fifteen lengths clear of the rest of the field. A virus, followed by an injury, followed by a virus put his career on hold for a while but we're really looking forward to seeing him out again this season. |

| Owner(s): J Duddy, B McDonald, A Heeney & M McMenamin |
Comments: A very decent type rated 90 on the flat and who won his first start over hurdles. Unfortunately, we came across some persistent heat in one of his legs recently and felt it prudent to put him
away. He’s a very exciting prospect and we look forward to having him back with us next
season. |

| Sire: Synefos (USA) |
| Dam: Almost Regal (IRE) |
| Owner(s): Noel Chance Racing Club |
Comments: Lovely old-fashioned potential Steeplechaser who had 2 promising runs in bumpers but then lost his way a little over hurdles. He possibly needed a bit more time and the plan is to run him on soft ground over hurdles/fences. |

| Colour: Grey |
| Sire: Highest Honor |
| Dam: Vaguely Money (USA) |
| Owner(s): Premier Chance Racing |
Comments: Winner of four races in the French provinces, a very sharp and athletic type with a great jump who was found to be a little under the weather after his first fun over hurdles when 7th at Kempton.

| Sex: Gelding |
| Colour: Bay |
| Sire: Presenting (GB) |
| Dam: Hatherley |
| Owner(s): Mrs M C Sweeney |
Comments: How this horse failed to win at least one of his four bumper starts is one of racing’s mysteries!
Hopefully, he will fulfil his true potential during his novice hurdling campaign. |

| Age: 2003 |
| Sex: Gelding |
| Colour: Grey |
| Sire: Linamix |
| Dam: Lit |
| Owner(s): Mr Ian Murray |
Comments: A very attractive ex-French gelding who won on the flat in the Provinces. A cheeky, playful prankster both in and out of the box, he’s struggled to get going on his current handicap mark on the flat, but he’s a very good jumper, and we were very pleased with his 4th place at Newbury on his second start over hurdles. |

| Dam: Lady Swinford |
| Owner(s): Miss E Chance |
Comments: Having won 6 consecutive races for us, including a Grade 3 Steeplechase at Down Royal, he was finally retired to the hunting field in 2007. However, retirement wasn’t to be for this quirky old soul and he started his new career as a Point-to-Pointer under the new ownership of Eimear Chance early in 2008. He thrilled us all by winning two competitive Men’s Open races and finishing 2nd in a Hunter Chase at Towcester. This season he’ll be aimed at the Cheltenham Foxhunters at the Festival in March. |

| Sire: Varxi |
| Dam: Fraxinelle |
| Owner(s): Mrs W Morrell & Mr Robert Frosell |
Comments: A big, good-looking ex-French gelding who’s had a couple of runs without troubling the judge, but has still given the impression there’s a lot more there. He’s a good jumper who’ll run once
more to get a handicap mark and then run in novice handicap chases which we hope will
bring out the best in him. |

| Sire: Snurge |
| Dam: Full Deck (IRE) |
| Owner(s): The Executors of the late Mr A D Weller |
