Tote Ten To Follow Jumps Season is back with entries opening at 11am on Monday 31st October 2022. The window for entries is 13-days with all stables needing to be registered by 11am on Saturday 12th November. The competition starts on Paddy Power Gold Cup day at Cheltenham and ends on Grand National day at Aintree.
Plenty of time I hear you cry! Not a bit of it, much like the frantic days approaching the Fantasy Premier League deadline, or if you delve into the plentiful fantasy competitions in American sport, you will know that feeling of perturbed confusion as you bid to shuffle the pack to best advantage. Not much has changed with this year’s Tote Ten To Follow competition, and as such the usual adage of picking horses to win as many bonus races as possible will hold true. But it’s worth also trying to think outside the box a little with some picks, as other Graded races and higher SP’s carry significant weight too. Of the 21 bonus races, there are 6 hurdles and 15 chases, so it makes sense to weight your team accordingly, and also don’t try and be too clever and neglect the obvious. There are some fairly obvious non-negotiables, and instead of trying to find wise-guy alternatives, just take the points! Oh, and don’t even think about trying to solve the Grand National now, or too many of the Aintree races for that matter, as there are two substitutions allowed in March.

With the Tote generally a resurgent force within the horse racing betting industry, based on more imaginative products and marketing, so too the ever-popular Tote Ten to Follow competition goes from strength to strength in terms of popularity.
Back with a little bit of logistical tinkering for the Tote Ten to Follow 2022/23, the importance of Bonus races is still relevant. But not perhaps quite as much as previously, as there is now a greater weighting of points towards Graded winners, and also with regard to returns on an each-way bet at the Tote starting prices.
Therefore, a mix of predictable standard bearers and potentially bigger-priced and/or prolific Graded winners would be the perfect blend.
Here are my 10 attempts at filling the above criteria, take them or leave them as you see fit!
1. Allaho – Willie Mullins’ behemoth will win the King George VI Chase, Ryanair Chase and Punchestown Gold Cup…probably.
2. A Plus Tard – Betfair Chase, Cheltenham Gold Cup taken care of here, with perhaps the Savills Chase also.
3. Beauport – I’ve not been as taken by a chasing debutant for quite some time as I was when at Carlisle recently, and hailing from a yard that won’t be afraid to campaign him liberally and in the top races, he could be a profilic winner and thus, points scorer.
4. Capodanno – a bit of a risky one, but could develop into a genuine Grade 1 staying chaser for races like the Aintree Bowl, but not before winning a decent handicap (maybe the Coral Gold Cup), and maybe a couple of Graded races beforehand.
5. Constitution Hill – the next Henderson superstar, if he’s not already afforded that status. I’m afraid he’ll be the Honeysuckle party pooper.
6. Corach Rambler – horses simply don’t win Cheltenham Festival handicap chases the way he won last season’s Ultima, and after a nice pipe-opener at Carlisle, he will a viable option for Coral Gold Cup, Welsh National and the Grand National itself maybe.
7. Energumene – The Tingle Creek and Queen Mother Champion Chase could be at his mercy, and plenty of Grade 1’s in Ireland too.
8. Gaillard Du Mesnil – perhaps the highest quality novice under any code in training this season, he will win plenty of decent novice chases in Ireland, before winning the National Hunt Chase pulling a cart, and then maybe a shot at the Grand National (or Irish version again.)
9. Flooring Porter – everyone seems to feel they can find an alternative in the staying hurdle division, but he’s by far the best, and could be even better this season as he’s still only 7.
10. Jonbon – Will be the best UK-trained novice chaser between 2m and 2m4f, and potentially has the necessary improvement in him to beat off the Mullins battalions come the spring.
We are back for another edition of the Tote Ten To Follow for the upcoming 2022/2023 Jumps Season and along with it, comes all the excitement and build-up imaginable to this sort of competition. It gives you a chance to construct your own stable of superstars, to try and win good prize money from the Tote – who continue to go above and beyond in their thinking to increase betting numbers.
As you can expect with these types of gigs, you don’t get too much prize for originality and as a result, there are plenty in here that will come of no surprise and will be in plenty of people’s stables, some however are hopefully a little bit more thought provoking.
For convenience also, I have made this list in alphabetical order.
1. Allaho – It seems like they might be aggressive in their planning for this horse this season, with a potential crack at the King George looking likely. Simply put, he is the best chaser in the game from 2m4f-3m and will take all the beating wherever he goes.
2. American Mike – Will take very high rank over hurdles this year if last year’s bumper form and his hurdling debut is anything to go by. Will be campaigned in all the Grade 1s, most notably perhaps the Lawlors of Naas / Nathaniel Lacy and then onto Cheltenham.
3. A Plus Tard – Betfair Chase a bonus race, Savills Chase a bonus race, Gold Cup a Bonus race. Three races, three bonuses and the horse that could be good enough to land all three, the one they all have to beat.
4. Energumene – Another must for the list as he is the best 2 mile chaser around, and I don’t think anything coming through the ranks is going to phase him, should win the Champion Chase and will plenty on his way there.
5. Fantastikas – Proper staying horse who should be primed to run some big races in the Nationals come the end of the season, well handicapped, good jumper – a lot to like.
6. Fiddlerontheroof – Another for the big staying Graded Handicaps this year, should have every chance in the Coral Gold Cup and the National is the long term aim for this horse, may run in some graded races in between and be competitive.
7. Greaneteen – Likeable horse who was very impressive on his first start this season in the Haldon Gold Cup. Don’t see anything to beat him in the Tingle Creek, which is a bonus race and more than entitled to run in the Champion Chase, will win plenty this season.
8. Honeysuckle – I don’t like that Constitution Hill might take in some lesser races on the way to this clash at Cheltenham and although the unbeaten mare may be vulnerable by then, she should have mopped up the Hattons Grade and the Irish Champion on the way.
9. State Man – Impressive novice from last year looks to take high rank in open company this season, should be running in plenty of Grade Ones and I would be disappointed to not make up into a good horse in that company, certainly one to have on the list.
10. Three Stripe Life – Last but not least, the most exciting novice chaser for me this season, should improve for jumping a fence and was high quality last season, over 2m-3m he should be winning plenty of races and I would be disappointed should he not collect plenty of points.

Once a regular part of any racing fan’s yearly planner, the rejuvenated Tote Ten-To-Follow is quite simply one of the best ways of keeping a season-long interest in the racing game. The prospect of a huge prize at the end of it is the ideal, but clearly the likelihood is low. So, the monthly prizes of £10,000 to the winner is an excellent incentive.
For a full rundown on how to play and all the relevant information, click here.
There are many different tactics that will be employed, but essentially picking as many big-priced winners of the bonus races is going to catapult you up the leaderboard. Or you could play it safe and go for the high-profile horses who should help you rack up win after win. The choice is yours, but I do think that concentrating on trying to find the winners of the bonus races is a good way to go, as that will also keep you in the hunt for the monthly prizes too. With a smattering of prolific winners alongside too.
The later bonus races like the Aintree, Scottish and Irish Grand Nationals can be thought about when you make any substitutions in the transfer window the week before the Cheltenham Festival.
The final deadline is 11am on Saturday November 14th, and so your horses will begin scoring points from Paddy Power Gold Cup day at Cheltenham onwards. Here are my early thoughts and 15 horses to consider for your final stable of 10.

Update 13/11/2020: As always a lot has happened in the 10 days since we published the original draft 15 selections for this season’s Ten To Follow and after reviewing the latest form and injuries we have now selected the final Ten that we hope can give you a good run for your money over the next few months. From the original draft we have now dropped the following horses : Minella Indo, Topofthegame, Easy work, Defi du Seuil, Asterion Forlonge which leaves the WhichBookie/Will Smith Ten To Follow selections as :
A reminder that entries must be made by 10am tomorrow November 14th . Good luck.
Abacadabras:
Many will have been disappointed with his seasonal debut, but fear not, he will be a force in all the best 2m hurdles, and pick up valuable points in the Irish Champion Hurdle and Champion Hurdle itself.
Asterion Forlonge:
Given how much ground he conceded in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle last season by jumping markedly right, yet still finished fourth, he must have some engine. There are plenty of good pots over in Ireland on right-handed tracks that he could scoop up.
Clan Des Obeaux:
The two-time winner of the King George might not have it quite all his own way this year, after Cyrname’s romp in the Charlie Hall. But he still has the Betfair Chase, King George and Betway Bowl there as options.
Defi Du Seuil:
Not quite sure what it was that produced such a lifeless run in last season’s Champion Chase, but the Tingle Creek, Champion Chase and Melling Chase could all be at his mercy this time around.
Delta Work:
After his Down Royal reappearance effort, he could go off an inflated price for the Savills Chase and Irish Gold Cup – races he won last year. He can show himself a much better horse than he did in last year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup also.
Easywork:
Chasing home Envoi Allen will have left him as a forgotten horse for many, but he will win some nice races over fences, and presumably be kept apart from Envoi Allen, coming from the same stable of course.
Envoi Allen:
While he won’t be the horse that wins you a monthly or overall prize by setting you aside from the masses, it could be a case of if you didn’t have him in, then you would be conceding a large head-start to many.
Fusil Raffles:
Despite coming from the same stable as likely Arkle winner Shishkin, Fusil Raffles has the option of going over further and he was sneakily very good on the clock when winning at Cheltenham in October.
Honeysuckle:
Quite simply, a high-class winning machine – so while she might not contest that many bonus races, she will surely rack up the points for you.
Minella Indo:
Similar races apply for Henry De Bromhead’s star chaser as they do for Delta Work, and it’s probably a case of plumping for one of the pair. Minella Indo would look to have more improvement to come.
Put The Kettle On:
Last season’s Arkle winner can progress again, and while she would have bonus point races like the Champion Chase on her agenda, she could pick up a few points in mares’ chases and other open company Grade 1’s.
Shewearsitwell:
She will be prolific in mares’ novice hurdles over in Ireland, and also will have the option of open Grade 1 novice hurdles like the Royal Bond.
Thyme Hill:
Looks set to be a leading player in the staying hurdle division, and was ready to run last weekend at Wetherby so could be about to start picking up points at this early stage of the season too.
Thyme White:
A bit of a flyer here, but he was super impressive at Chepstow in his reappearance and could be a live contender for the Greatwood Hurdle and the Betfair Hurdle (now a bonus point race).
Topofthegame:
Ante-post favourite for the Ladbrokes Trophy, could pick up other bonus point races in the shape of the Cheltenham Gold Cup. While other races like the Cotswold Chase and Denman Chase will be suitable targets for him.
Many will be keen on the likes of Al Boum Photo, Epatante, Shishkin, Sire Du Berlais, Galvin, Easysland, Monkfish and one or two others – but they might not be seen all that often, and the transfer window can give you an opportunity to sub them in for their big days, should you so wish.
