Adam Mills’ 15 French Horses to Follow for 2025: The Triumph Hurdle Winner & Next Grade 1 Stars?

Emmet Kennedy is joined by French racing expert Adam Mills to reveal the most exciting group of National Hunt imports we have seen in years. These are the horses coming directly from Auteuil, Compiegne and Pau into the top yards in Ireland and the UK, and they could shape the Triumph Hurdle, the Ballymore, the Albert Bartlett and the key novice chase divisions for seasons to come.

Adam has identified 15 horses with real potential. Eight now trained by Willie Mullins, who has produced four of the last five Triumph Hurdle winners, and seven more spread across Nicky Henderson, Dan Skelton, David Pipe, Gavin Cromwell, Gordon Elliott, Henry De Bromhead and Ben Pauling.

We discuss:
• The juvenile who already looks like a Triumph Hurdle prospect
• The strong stayer type who could become an Albert Bartlett horse
• The Prix Royal Monarch winner, from a race that has produced State Man, Gaelic Warrior, Sir Gino and Salvator Mundi
• The new Galiway recruit to join Vauban, Gala Marceau and Jimmy Du Seuil
• The dark horse who could progress rapidly from hurdling to chasing

Is there another Majborough, Vauban or Sir Gino in this group? We break it down with pedigree insight, French race film notes, pace profiles and likely trainer intent.

Horses discussed
Kai Lung, Larinka, Narciso Has, Madness D’Elle, Manita, Macho Man, Mister Yves, Proactif (Willie Mullins)
Manlaga (Henderson), Parchment (Pipe), Mojito Des Mottes (Ben Pauling), Maestro Conti (Skelton), Ole Ole (Cromwell), Matin Midi Et Soir (De Bromhead), Mange Tout (Elliott)
