As the National Hunt season gathers momentum, champion jockey Harry Cobden has exclusively shared his most exciting prospects for the months ahead - and racing enthusiasts will want to take note of these potential stars.
The Novice Chaser Set To Make Waves
Among Cobden's most anticipated mounts is Captain Teague, who makes the transition to fences this season after an impressive hurdles campaign. "He's schooled really well and looks a natural," reveals Cobden, who believes the seven-year-old could develop into a serious contender for top novice chases.
Unbeaten Talent With Big Potential
Perhaps the most exciting name on Cobden's list is Salvador Ziggy, who carries an unbeaten record into the new season. "He's done nothing wrong so far and could be anything," the jockey enthuses, suggesting this promising type might just be the dark horse of the season.
Proven Performer Ready For Big Targets
Stage Star returns with established credentials, having already proven himself at the highest level. Cobden confirms the gelding will be aimed at major handicaps, potentially including the prestigious Turners Novices' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, where he could start as a leading fancy.
Young Prospects With Bright Futures
Cobden also highlighted several younger horses showing tremendous promise, including Kabral Du Mathan and Unowhatimeanharry, both expected to make significant strides this season. Their development could provide the jockey with additional firepower as the campaign progresses.
With the jumps season now properly underway, all eyes will be on whether Cobden's confidence in these exciting prospects translates to success on the track. Racing fans have plenty to look forward to as these horses make their seasonal debuts.
