Winner in the spring of Cheltenham’s Festival Hunters’ Chase and Aintree’s Randox Foxhunters’ Chase there are no prizes for working out that Barton Snow has been rated the best hunter on either side of the Irish Sea.
The Joe O’Shea-trained nine-year-old (pictured above under Henry Crow – photo by Debbie Burt) is awarded a mark of 146 by race reader and commentator Martin Harris, whose ratings for every horse that ran last season will be published early next month in the annual Point-to-Point & Hunter Chase Yearbook 2025/26. Available for purchase through this website it is packed with point-to-point information, from results and comments in running for every race held last season, profiles of each horse, details and locations of courses, data on riders, auction prices and historical records of feature races.
Barton Snow’s rating is the best since the 2022/23 season when Famous Clermont was given the same mark of 146 after winning Haydock’s Walrus Hunters’ Chase and at Aintree.
Second place on Harris’s latest list of top horses is the Emmett Mullins-trained It’s On The Line, who has finished runner-up in each of the past four runnings of Cheltenham’s Festival Hunters’ Chase. His defeats, including in March by Barton Snow, have been by a neck twice, by three-quarters of a length and a length and three-quarters. He has been rated 141, four points ahead of fellow Irish hunter Wonderwall, who won at the Cheltenham Festival in 2025, but could finish only seventh last season before getting to within a neck of It’s On The Line at April’s Punchestown Festival.
Music Drive, who has become a potent performer for Kelly Morgan’s stable and who finished third behind Barton Snow at Cheltenham, is rated 135, while the top mark for a horse who campaigned solely in point-to-points is one of 133 given to Grace A Vous Enki. He ran five times last season for Chris Barber’s stable, extending his unbeaten record at Larkhill to 11 and completing a long-held ambition for owners Clive and Joan Hitchings to win Chaddesley Corbett’s Lady Dudley Cup.

Meanwhile the Planner, which provides conditions for every race to be run in the new season – starting November 1 at Lower Machen – and also contains plenty of other useful information on sponsored series etc will be available to purchase from October 14 with delivery from October 19. A ring-bound printed version costs £59, while a digital version, which can be bought from October 12, will be on sale for £49.
Bought separately the two forms of Planner would cost £108, but there is a saving if the ring-bound and digital are bought as a bundle – handy for keeping a copy in the office and for checking race conditions while on the move – for the price of £90.
