What the Press Say:

"They say the more things change the more they stay the same – and devoted followers of Mark Howard's excellent guide to the jumps season can rest assured that while the horses he covers in this annual labour of love come and go, the twin bywords of thorough research and outstanding value for money remain as constant now as they were 14 years ago. Howard can't pass a stone without turning it to see what gems might lie beneath, and that diligence pours, as ever, from each of the 136 pages. All the favourite sections remain – it's a great scene-setting, pulse quickening package for just £6.99, and a worthy addition to any jump fans' collection." Mark BLACKMAN, RACING POST, 28th September 2007

"A familiar face to Racing UK viewers, Howard is 32 years of age but has been churning out One Jump Ahead – and Ahead On The Flat – annually for the past 14 years. The book hasn't changed that much over the years. The 2007/2008 edition runs to 136 pages and is absolutely crammed with the latest news on what are likely to be the top horses over sticks this season. Howard clearly has built up a great relationship with all the big trainers – and plenty of smaller ones too – meaning that the reader can trust that the quotes and comments are bang up to date. The inclusion of an interview with Willie Mullins is especially welcome. Other Irish-related content includes profiles of around 40 point-to-pointers and a dozen or so horses who have already shown promise. Mark Howard doesn't go in for racing photographs. However, this doesn't make it a dull read as the mine of information is divided into neat segments and there is a useful index of all the horses mentioned at the back. Once again, one of the most useful sections is the interview with bloodstock agent Anthony Bromley, who gives readers a sneak preview of some of the exciting French breds he acquired on behalf of Highflyer Bloodstock during the off-season. The next Kauto Star or Voy Por Ustedes could be lurking in here. Every year I shake my head in disbelief at the low cover price - £6.99. It should be at least twice if not three times that figure, given the huge amount of work put in." Mark COSTELLO, The IRISH FIELD (22/9/07)

"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
