What the Press Say:

"As ever, One Jump Ahead combines Mark's rigorous approach to research with a lightness of style that makes this both an informative and enjoyable read. hope you enjoy a profitable season - with this little gem on the bookshelf, you should." Nick LUCK, Racing UK, Channel 4 Racing

"There is a lot to commend Mark Howard, author of One Jump Ahead, for. After all, he has kept his home-grown publication going for 12 years now and gradually refined and improved it along the way. He has done this without drastically altering the format and, crucially, without raising the price more than a couple of pounds in a decade. One Jump Ahead has always been the best 'horses to follow' annual, mainly because Mark Howard is such an astute judge. He has allied this to a lot of hard work making contacts over the years to make One Jump Ahead unmissable for anyone serious about their National Hunt racing. So with that in mind, he has given himself a lot to live up to every season and the 2005/6 edition does not disappoint. It's hard to fault One Jump Ahead, so we won't. At £5.99 it's a real steal - and just backing the Top 40 blind has made a profit in each of the past four seasons - enough said really." RACING AHEAD Magazine, December 2005

"Just like a mature cheese goes perfectly with a fine wine, and a log fire makes a winter evening extra special, Mark Howard's annual guide to the jumps season is perfect accompaniment for all things National Hunt. The Racing UK regular has been producing this guide for 13 years, and this edition is just as good as its predecessors. In fact, it's a little better. Along with his top 40 prospects that always churn out plenty of winners, 45 pages worth of mini stable tours and all the usual features, there is a new section called 'Owners' Enclosure.' Trevor Hemmings is one of those under the spotlight courtesy of his racing manager, who offers an insight into 13 of the Grand National-winning owner's string. This could be the best £5.99 you spend all season." David DEW, Racing Post, Tuesday 13th September 2005

"Mark Howard's compact yet deeply informative preview of the top horses for the season provides punters with a great tool. Howard has developed a successful formula for his guide over 11 editions, and his strike-rate is impressive, giving followers of his Top 40 a better than a 30% return over the previous three seasons. The author is clearly not content however, and the 'Theory Test' - a new feature for this edition - demonstrates that he is trying to improve on his successful product. Howard unearths new horses or those he thinks have untapped potential, rather than stating the obvious about established winners. The reader has enough informed analysis at their fingertips to take on the new National Hunt season with some confidence."

Mirio MELLA, Racing Post, Wednesday 15th September 2004

"Such a meticulously researched and expertly analysed betting guide."

Lydia HISLOP, BBC TV, RACING UK, The TIMES

"This volume is a most valuable tool of the trade that punters cannot be without. Mark's record in recent years has been quite exceptional."
