Leading jockey Gavin Sheehan gave us the handful of horses he's most exciting about riding through the 2021-22 National Hunt season.
SAMBEZI (Oliver Signy)

He won his bumper first time out at Hexham and won a maiden hurdle at Fontwell in March.
He’s got entries at Carlisle and Newton Abbot this Thursday and he’s been jumping really well. He’s a very promising young horse.
EMITOM (Warren Greatrex)

He had a relatively poor season last year but I really hope he’s going to bounce back from that.
I went to sit on him the other day and he seems better, mentally he looks sharper and physically looks stronger too.
He’s still a novice over fences and I’d say he’ll go back chasing after switching to hurdles again towards the end of last season.
BRAVE KINGDOM (Paul Nicholls)

Brave Kingdom is by the same sire as Bravemansgame. He won a maiden bumper at Fontwell in late-February and looks a really nice young horse for Harry.
He seems a very exciting prospect and will probably be better again next year but he feels all there and should have a good season in novice hurdles.
HARDY DU SEUIL (Jamie Snowden)

He’s a very nice horse and it was obviously very unfortunate he fell at the first in the two-runner race at Wetherby the other day.
He’s a French horse and it was his first time out for Jamie but hopefully he’ll come on for that experience as he’s a lovely type of horse.
EASY AS THAT (Venetia Williams)

He’s one for Venetia Williams who wasn’t jumping brilliantly and even when he won by nine lengths at Chepstow he jump all that well, but he’s got an engine.
His form stacks up as the horse he beat when on to win well at Sandown.
If he jumps fences well, and I can see him giving them just a little bit more respect than the hurdles, he could be really useful.
