WE are roughly at the half way stage in the jumps season. The busy Christmas centerpieces have taken place and this is a good opportunity to have a look at the standings.

Paul sits top of the trainer’s title, the million pound barrier has been surpassed. We have two horses in the top five earners of the season, Old Guard and Irving. It is not going to be easy to stay on top, but there is a lot of valuable racing between now and the end of the season and we have a great team of horses to make it happen.
