Yes!
He's had his summer holiday but now it's time to get serious and start focusing on the impending National Hunt
season!
And what better way to start the wheels in motion for the 2016/17 season than with a fantastic guest post from the man behind the superb Jumpers To Follow publication, Paul Ferguson.
Paul actually sent me the post last week but I had to do a bit of
nip and tuck on NTF first, he had clearly been overindulging during the off season and needed a bit of work on the gallops first! (NTF, not Paul!)
I've personally spent the past month and a bit picking through my mounds of National Hunt notes from last season. It needs done every summer. It takes a hell of a lot of time and effort... but I LOVE IT!!
It's gets me properly fired up for the jumping game and reignites the National Hunt passion that burns deep inside of me.
I'm sure once you've read Paul's guest post you'll start to feel exactly the same...
Paul has been on his travels during the summer, visiting numerous National Hunt yards up and down the country and getting a first hand close up look at some of the major players from the likes of NTD, Skelton, Bailey, O'Brien and many more.
And that's
one of the reason's I love having Paul open up the NTF season. He's not simply spouting off run of the mill claptrap about Mullins or Nicholls or Henderson...
He's digging a bit deeper, looking at the emerging trainers, the second and third tier trainers, the ones that don't get quite as much coverage as they
probably should.
And that makes his guest post a MUST
READ!
Once you've read it (grab a cuppa/beer/sandwich, it's a chunky post) I want to hear YOUR thoughts on the forthcoming season.
