Weekly Eye Catchers


Hi Reader

Firstly, I'd like to wish you and your family as very happy Christmas.

It's an exciting time of the year and more so for us jump racing fans with such quality racing over Christmas week 🏇

Below, we have three new eye catchers from the past two weeks. These are three quality chasers and on their way to major wins barring injury.

Check out eye catchers for this week below:

McLaurey

McLaurey- 3rd in 11.30 Fairyhouse 13/12/25

McLaurey is on target to land some nice prizes over fences this season. He has run twice over fences this season without being ridden hard. That is handicapping and it's a case of job done, with an opening handicap mark of 131. He won twice over hurdles last season at Limerick over Christmas and then a listed handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.

There is no doubt in my mind that this former Irish point to pointer is going to reach greater heights over fences. He handles soft ground and jumps well. He is a horse worth backing when upped in distance to two and a half miles next year in the spring festivals.

Jagwar

Jagwar - 3rd in 1.50 Cheltenham 13/12/25

Jagwar was a big eyecatcher in the December Gold Cup at Cheltenham. It was his first run of the season and he ran a mighty race giving lots of weight to his rivals. A nod on landing at the sixth fence didn’t help however he jumped well in the main showing lots of scope.

Jagwar won twice over this distance at Cheltenham last season, including the plate at the festival. This run again proved he goes well at this course and is crying out for a step up in distance. I doubt he is ready for the Ryanair Chase or Gold Cup so the obvious target would be the Ultima Handicap Chase on day one of the festival.

Regent's Stroll

Regents’s Stroll- 1st in 12.30 Wincanton 16/12/25

Regent’s Stroll finally showed some maturity to win easily on his second run over fences. The hood was back on following his defeat at Newbury behind Wendigo and No Questions Answered. Regent’s Stroll pulled like a tank for over half of that Newbury race and it was his class that saw him finish not far behind Wendigo.

Paul Nicholls loves this horse and I can see why as he has bags of talent and jumps great. He is a Grade 1 Novice Chaser in my opinion. Paul and his connections enjoy great results with their horses at the Aintree Festival which could well be preferred ahead of the Cheltenham Festival this season.

Weekly Eye Catchers December 2025

Hi Reader We have three cracking young horses this week. All three won recently and look upwardly mobile. Check out eye catchers for this week below: View Eye Catchers List Here Kikijo Kikijo- 1st in 1.20 Sandown 06/12/25 Kikijo won the pertemps qualifier at Sandown so he’s qualified for the final at the Cheltenham Festival. He won rather comfortably here and looks like a horse that remains ahead of the handicapper. A seven pound hike to a mark of 134 is perfect for getting in at the foot of...

Weekly Eye Catchers November 2025

Hi Reader A dramatic weekend of racing action just passed. Constitution Hill and The New Lion fell in the Fighting Fifth. Wendigo and Romeo Coolio impressed in the novice chase division. Teahupoo and Ballyburn are rightly at the top of the Stayers hurdle market having fought out a great finish in the Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse. I picked out two horses this week that finished second in handicaps at Newbury. Check out eye catchers for this week below: View Eye Catchers List Here Leader...
