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 hurdles in Britain before being bought privately for The OLBG Racing Club which is gone to support Harry Derham Racing. Placed 5 times for current connections, rated 124.
Chasing frequently assists horses who travel actually well over difficulties and don't rather see out the trip. There are 12 jumps in a two-mile chase, compared to 8 in a difficulty, which will absolutely assist Lario. He has the size and scope to do well over fences. I'm hoping that going after enhancement, as I do not think we've seen the finest 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 per month per horse with the OLBG Racing Club. Along with weekly e-mails packed loaded with news, you'll get access to lawn gos to, draws for owners badges and a calendar of special events.

Jus de Citron
Six-year-old gelding. Saint Des Saints x Rapide I.
Edward Ware Esq
. Won on his debut for the backyard in an Amateur Hurdle at Doncaster and finished 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 intending 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 comprise 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 launching in a Novice Handicap Chase at Newcastle on 15th January

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 advance to a handicap mark of 118.
He is definitely going chasing this season. He was always an appropriate jumper of difficulties, so I think chasing will highlight some enhancement. Since front-running suited him in his last race, possibly that will be his technique over fences. He probably will not run before Newbury at the end of November/early December in a newbie handicap chase.
UPDATE: Finished second of 9 on going after launching in a Novices' Handicap Chase at Warwick on 11th December.
UPDATE: Finished 3rd of 4 in a Novices Handicap Chase at Windsor on 1st January

Frost and Galvin.
Two time NHF winner and 3 time hurdle winner including a listed mares amateur race. Ran twice at the Cheltenham Festival (23 Champion Bumper, 25 Mares Hurdle). Rated 134.
She's had a wretched summertime involving two bouts of extremely bad colic. It was looking exceedingly not likely she was going to get back, so it's fantastic 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 further behind in her preparation.

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 as much as Constitution Hill at Cheltenham in January. Rated 139 over obstacles. 100 on the flat.
Brentford Hope is in good nick, we just require the ground to be right. We are going to offer beginner going after a go and if that doesn't work out we can go back to difficulties.
