  Andrew Mount's 'Form-Breaking' methods were first applied to National Hunt racing in 2002. He revealed the hurdler with six wins from seven starts when faced with distances below three miles, a right-handed track and fast ground. He wrote about the progressive chaser who won all six career starts when rested for six weeks or longer. Now his findings are updated annually and republished to make your betting more profitable for the 2007-2008 Jumps season.
