MID to late-October is a great time of year to be looking forward, with the weather already beginning to feel wintry as a reminder that the switch from flat to jumps seasons starts in earnest this weekend. To mark this rite of passage, I thought it was appropriate to throw together a list of horses to put in the notebook/tracker, being a mix of promising youngsters on the level and racefit jumpers, who should pay their way in the coming weeks.
