10 to follow for the National Hunt season

Last March Ireland won an extraordinary, and unprecedented, 19 races at the Cheltenham festival.

We are now on the verge of what promises to be another cracking National Hunt campaign and, with so many juggernauts currently in the Irish game, there is so much to look forward to and every reason for serious optimism.

Keeping that in mind, and encouraged by one or two readers, I thought it might be appropriate this week to offer ten horses to follow that will, hopefully, more than pay their way and, at the same time, leave us at least mildly better off.
