Exciting Novice Chaser: A Beautiful Horse with Class and Natural Jumping Ability

The glory days of Cue Card, Thistlecrack, Native River, and Lostintranslation are over. However, Joe Tizzard, who took over the license from his father Colin last season, believes that there may be new stars emerging from their stable. Tizzard singles out a group of four-year-olds as particularly exciting, with Diamond Ri being the most likely candidate based on his impressive bumper win on his debut. Diamond Ri will have his eagerly anticipated first run over hurdles at Exeter on Friday. There are other promising young horses in the stable as well, with the potential to reach the higher levels of the sport.

One of the trainers at Spurles Farm expresses their admiration for Diamond Ri, stating that his form was confirmed in the Greatwood and that a Grade 1 race seems like the next logical step for him. Another trainer describes a lovely, big horse with promising form, suggesting that he could have a successful season. They also mention that everything is in place for another horse to perform well in the Becher, and there is even the potential for him to become a contender for the National. Another trainer highlights a brilliant jumper with endless stamina, who could excel in the Classic Chase. Finally, there is mention of a horse who has room for improvement in their handicap mark, and they are considered one to watch in the upcoming season.

Overall, there is excitement and optimism around the potential of these young horses at Spurles Farm. While their previous champions may have moved on, the search for a new star continues, and these four-year-olds are showing promise in their early performances.
