We continue to grow year upon year and a lot of that growth is obviously down to the excellent profitable tipsters that we have, who not only provide consistent profits but also produce write ups and race previews, of the highest quality, which in turn produce excellent return on investment for members and make the services, what we believe the most enjoyable in the industry. I would also like to say a big thank you to Ben Jenkins who is our website manager, developer, excel spreadsheet Whiz kid. He makes sure everything runs smoothly and deals with all the techie stuff which makes everything function on a daily basis. Our last big thank you goes to our newest member of staff, Claire Bond who is our administrator and takes care of all payments, queries, refunds, support on a daily basis, allowing myself, James Walsh, to direct the www.tipstersempire.co.uk in the right direction along with www.jpwracingtipster.com and www.jpwscoop6.com We are very much a team at www.tipstersempire.co.uk we all have our important roles to play and although each service is individual, we still have that team vibe, with everyone wanting to see other services do well. It enables us all to thrive, whether than be the tipsters or any of the staff in the office, we all want to see Tipsters Empire as a whole, to grow year upon year. Over the last month our tipsters have been hard at work putting together their horses to follow ahead of the 2020/2021 National Hunt Season. In this eBook you will find graded horses to follow, Handicap Horses, Trainers To Follow and Jockeys To Follow. We may be biased but it is as good a book as any you will see and more so, it is totally FREE. The four tipsters involved in this book are CD Racing, The Wizard Of Big Odds, Ed Culham Tips and Cotswold Racing. We hope you enjoy the read and any feedback is obviously very welcome. Page | 3 WWW.TIPSTERSEMPIRE.CO.UK TIPSTERS EMPIRE - NATIONAL HUNT JUMPERS TO FOLLOW 2020/2021 Introduction to Jumpers to follow 2020/2021 In total the tipsters have sent in 56 horses to follow. We have one or two horses which are the same but these have been left in, as we believe it may be a good sign if one horse comes up more than once. The selection of horses is fantastic. From graded horses, to handicappers, to complete left field selections. An excellent job from our tipsters who we will keep shouting from the rooftops, the most talented team of tipsters in the industry. Each tipster has also nominated a Trainer and a Jockey to follow, meaning you also have 4 Trainers and 4 Jockeys to follow. Enjoy the read and once again any feedback is very welcome. Tipsters Empire Limited Page | 4 WWW.TIPSTERSEMPIRE.CO.UK TIPSTERS EMPIRE - NATIONAL HUNT JUMPERS TO FOLLOW 2020/2021 CD Racing CD Racing is our longest serving tipster who started with us in January 2018. At the time of writing he has made 338 points profit, operating at a return on investment of 16.50%. He is a tipster who is as professional as they come. One of his key attributes is how remains composed and calm, even when things don’t go his way. He has an encyclopaedia of knowledge when it comes to Horse Racing, as you would expect from a man who has visited nearly every racecourse in the UK. He lives and breathes everything about Horse Racing. A 28 day trial is available for new customers at £2.99 Jumpers to follow Shishkin Trainer - N Henderson Form Figures - 3/11/F111- The new Altior? Fell early on his hurdling debut but a couple of powering away from rival's wide margin victories sent him to the Supreme Novice as a big contender for an owner with plenty of depth in this division. The softer than ideal ground saw him drift on the day and he didn't get the smoothest of runs through the race, were both issues, but he overcame the odds with a battling victory ahead of another very talented novice in Abacadabras. Shishkin has the size to jump fences and it will be a surprise if this season wasn't all about getting him to the Arkle on Day 1 of the Cheltenham Festival for a crack at the top 2-mile novice chase of the season. His high cruising speed was a given but he showed in victory last time that he's got a good battling attitude too. He could go to the very top as a Grade 1 chaser. I don't think we'll see the best of him until he gets a proper pace to aim at but that should happen for the big day in March. He showed last time that he handles soft so that surface or better is fine. Likely target The Arkle on Day 1 of the 2021 Cheltenham Festival Page | 5 WWW.TIPSTERSEMPIRE.CO.UK TIPSTERS EMPIRE - NATIONAL HUNT JUMPERS TO FOLLOW 2020/2021 Abacadabras Trainer - G Elliott Form Figures -1O4/211212- Champion Hurdle bound. With Buveur D'air a year older and returning from an injury which ruled him out of a defence of his 2019 title it was Epatante who took the 2020 crown. She was clearly the best in the biggest hurdle race of the season last season and could well have more to come after just 6 hurdle runs, but it was probably a weaker than average Champion Hurdle and at least one of the good novices can compete. With Shishkin likely to be heading for novice chases, a Champion Hurdle campaign looks the right call for Abacadabras. He probably hit the front sooner than ideal in the 2020 Supreme Novice Hurdle but time may indicate that getting that close to Shishkin was a huge effort. The pair were well clear of the rest. His come from behind style of racing should help him to avoid having really hard races before the big day in March. 2 miles on any ground is fine, the stronger the pace set the better, as he's got such a good cruising speed. Likely target Leopardstown Grade 1 2-mile hurdles before a tilt at the Champion Hurdle in March. Saint Roi Trainer - W Mullins Form Figures: 3/511- Didn't look like a Cheltenham contender when a beaten odds-on favourite on his Willie Mullins debut but a wide margin win on run 2 booked his place for the festival. Still, he hardly looked thrown in off 137 for the County Hurdle but he won very easily and looks certain to make up as a Graded hurdler this year and possibly progress into a Champion Hurdle contender. in that County Hurdle, Saint Roi cruised through the race but so did the smart Aramon and the reluctant in a finish Buildmeupbuttercup. However, it was soon a matter of 'how far' when Geraghty pushed the button. Saint Roi scooted clear and given the owners liking for a Champion Hurdler he'll surely be tried at the top table before heading novice chasing if he doesn't make the grade. There's no need to go further than 2 miles and he seems to go on any ground. There was a generous response to pull clear and a turn of foot to go with it so stop/start races which can happen early in the season shouldn't catch him out. Likely target A lesser Graded hurdle to see if it's worth pursuing a path to the Champion Hurdle. If not, novice chasing. The way he moved through the race for last season's festival win suggest he could be a Grade 1 hurdler.

He was brought along steadily to peak in the spring and he looked set to win the RSA Chase when leading, heading to the last fence. A blunder there left the win in the balance between Allaho and Minella Indo only for Champ to storm through for an against the odds win that will be shown countless times in the coming years.
