  Mister Ursus

  Four-year-old bay gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Olly Murphy (Warwickshire) Shares available for £49

  Shares are available in the four-year-old gelding, Mister Ursus. He was a very successful Flat horse in Poland, before heading to France to continue his career. He won nicely at Nantes on heavy ground at the end of March and looks a progressive type over staying distances. Mister Ursus is by Breeders' Cup hero, Raven's Pass, who was a top-level performer for John Gosden. Now a stallion, Raven's Pass has produced a number of useful prospects, both on the Flat and over Jumps. His best progeny to date includes Group 1 winner, Matterhorn. Mister Ursus' dam, Diamond, is a half-sister to Libran, who won a total of nine races and enjoyed a highly successful career in Australia after signing off in the UK with an impressive win in a York handicap as a four-year-old. Mister Ursus is currently enjoying a summer break at EquiPrep and is due to join Olly Murphy in the coming weeks. Olly enjoyed an excellent Jumps season in 2024/25, finishing fifth in the Trainers' Championship. He was also pivotal in stable jockey Sean Bowen's quest and success in achieving his first Champion Jockey title. The plan is for Mister Ursus to go novice hurdling in the autumn. His versatility, athleticism and liking for cut in the ground are all positives ahead of his new career over timber.

  Len

  Five-year-old gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Paul Nicholls (Somerset) Shares available for £59

  Shares are available in the five-year-old gelding, Len. This athletic type has run twice in point-to-points in Ireland, finishing third at Lingstown in November before unseating at the last fence when in control at Oldtown in February, in a race that was run in the fastest time of the day. The lucky winner of that race, Apache Tribe, was sold for £85,000 at a recent Cheltenham sale. The form of Len's first point-to-point race at Lingstown could be strong, with the winner selling subsequently for £320,000 and the second horse winning since. Len is by the Coolmore sire, Wings Of Eagles, who is beginning to make a name for himself as a Jumps sire, having won the Derby in 2017. Len is out of a Presenting mare and is a half-brother to the JP McManus-owned winning hurdler, Intent Approach. Len is in training with Paul Nicholls, who has been crowned Champion Jumps trainer 14 times, and trained numerous winners for Owners Group, including the Grade 1 winning hurdler and chaser, Stage Star. Len is likely to go novice hurdling next season (from October 2025) and looks like a chasing type in time. "Len was unlucky not to win his last point-to-point start, but he's a promising young horse and we look forward to seeing how he progresses over the next season or so." Paul Nicholls
