Harry Derham Stable Tour: 2026/26 Jumps Season Preview

Six-year-old gelding. Nutan x Larmina
OLBG Racing Club
Winner on the flat in Germany and over difficulties in Britain before being purchased privately for The OLBG Racing Club which is run to support Harry Derham Racing. Placed 5 times for present connections, ranked 124.


Chasing typically assists horses who take a trip really well over hurdles and don't rather see out the trip. There are 12 dives in a two-mile chase, compared to 8 in a hurdle, and that will definitely assist Lario. He has the size and scope to do well over fences. I'm hoping that going after highlights enhancement, as I do not think we've seen the very best of him yet. Could begin at Chepstow on the 5th of November.


You can follow Lario and two other horses in training with Harry Derham Racing for just ₤ 10 each month per horse with the OLBG Racing Club. In addition to weekly emails loaded full of news, you'll get access to backyard check outs, draws for owners badges and a calendar of special events.


UPDATE: Won a Beginners Chase at Haydock on 20th December, producing a dazzling round of jumping on his chase launching. "He leapt wonderfully today, got into a beautiful rhythm. Hopefully he can make into a genuine good chaser." - Harry


UPDATE: Sadly suffered a life ending injury at Doncaster on 23rd January


Jus de Citron


Six-year-old gelding. Saint Des Saints x Rapide I.
Edward Ware Esq
. Won on his debut for the yard in an Amateur Hurdle at Doncaster and finished third on just other run last season. Rated 117.


He suffered a quite bad setback last season and now has five screws in his cannon bone. He is back cantering silently, and we are intending for his return after Christmas. He is a really great jumper, and I am looking forward to him going chasing. I think on decent ground, he can comprise into a great handicap chase possibility.


UPDATE: Finished 7th of 10 in a Handicap Hurdle at Kempton on 26th December


UPDATE: Finished 3rd of 7 on chasing after debut in a Beginner Handicap Chase at Newcastle on 15th January


UPDATE: Finished 3rd of 7 in a Handicap Chase at Musselburgh on 15th February


Norn Iron


Seven-year-old gelding. Soldier of Fortune x Coco Des Champs.
Mr Paul Kelly.
One win and 3 runner up areas last season to progress to a handicap mark of 118.


He is definitely going chasing this season. He was always a right jumper of hurdles, so I think chasing will highlight some improvement. Since front-running matched him in his last race, perhaps that will be his method over fences. He probably won't run before Newbury at the end of November/early December in an amateur handicap chase.


UPDATE: Finished 2nd of 9 on chasing after debut in an Amateurs' Handicap Chase at Warwick on 11th December.


UPDATE: Finished 3rd of 4 in a Novices Handicap Chase at Windsor on 1st January


UPDATE: Impressive winner of a Novices' Limited Handicap Chase at Sandown on 31st January


UPDATE: Won a Handicap Chase in excellent design at Sandown on 7th March


Queens Gamble


Seven-year-old mare. Getaway x Gambling Girl.
Frost and Galvin.
Two time NHF winner and three time hurdle winner including a noted mares amateur race. Ran two times at the Cheltenham Festival (23 Champion Bumper, 25 Mares Hurdle). Rated 134.


She's had a sorrowful summer involving two bouts of very bad colic. It was looking extremely unlikely she was going to get back, so it's terrific to have her back. She is a gifted mare and is going to go chasing this season. We are yet to school her as she is currently further behind in her preparation.


UPDATE: Finished 3rd in a Noted Chase at Bangor on 12th November


UPDATE: Finished 3rd of 6 in a Novices' Limited Handicap Chase at Musselburgh on 1st February

Brentford Hope


Eight-year-old gelding. Camelot x Miss Raven.
The Optimists.
One time antepost preferred for the Derby, 3 time winner on the flat and 5 time winner over obstacles. Runner up to Constitution Hill at Cheltenham in January. Rated 139 over hurdles. 100 on the flat.


Brentford Hope is in great nick, we just require the ground to be right. We are going to provide beginner going after a go and if that does not exercise we can return to difficulties.
