  Inca De Lafayette

  Three-year-old grey gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Paul Nicholls (Somerset) Shares available for £55

  Inca De Lafayette is an attractive three-year-old grey gelding. He won his last race on the Flat (in a race for horses that are principally bred to become jumpers), at Lyon (1m4f), on only his fifth career start, and had been placed previously. He looks the ideal type to go juvenile hurdling this season. Inca De Lafayette is by Gris De Gris, who was an extremely tough racehorse, winning nine races from 31 starts. Gris De Gris is the sire of JP McManus' useful hurdler and chaser, Campeador. Gris De Gris’ other progeny includes Houx Gris, who won in France and was placed at Grade 1 level for Paul Nicholls, as well as Demi Sang, who has won in France and Britain. Inca De Lafayette is from an excellent Jumps family, which includes Grade 2 hurdles winner, Urban Hymn. The current plan is for Inca De Lafayette to be prepared for a juvenile hurdling campaign this winter. He has the size and scope to progress and may go chasing further down the line. Inca De Lafayette is to be trained by Paul Nicholls from his Ditcheat base in Somerset. Paul, who has been crowned Champion Jumps Trainer a remarkable twelve times, has trained many winners for Owners Group over the years, including the likes of Sound Investment, Getaway Trump, Miranda and Stage Star. "I am delighted to be training Inca De Lafayette. I love juvenile hurdlers and this horse fits the bill perfectly. He looked good on his last start in France and I am looking forward to seeing how he progresses over the next few months and beyond. Providing all goes well with him, I hope that he will be able to run over hurdles at some point in the new year." Paul Nicholls

  Maximilian

  Five-year-old gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Donald McCain (Cheshire) Shares available for £55

  Maximilian is a good-looking five-year-old gelding. He won his only point-to-point start in Ireland at the end of October and was subsequently purchased privately by Owners Group. He jumped well and demonstrated an impressive change of gear that day, to record a comfortable victory. Maximilian is German-bred and by Adlerflug, who sired this year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner, Torquator Tasso. Adlerflug's other top performers include Group 1 winners In Swoop, Ito and Iquitos. Maximilian is the second foal out of a winning mare who produced another winner with her first offspring, Manchester City. Maximilian is likely to be aimed for a bumper (Flat race for Jumps horses) before progressing to hurdles and hopefully fences. Maximilian is in training with Donald McCain, who is one of the leading trainers in the country and is enjoying an excellent season so far. Donald trains from his impressive base in Cheshire and he recently won a Listed novices' hurdle at Haydock with Owners Group's Barrichello. "Maximilian is a lovely horse and could not have been more impressive in his point-to-point at Rathcannon on 31 October. He jumped superbly and looks like a tough and genuine young horse. We are delighted to be training another horse for Owners Group." Donald McCain

  Jaramillo

  Three-year-old bay gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Warren Greatrex (Lambourn) Shares available for £59

  Jaramillo is an exceptionally good-looking three-year-old gelding, who was bought at the recent Tattersalls Horses In Training Sale and impressed the Owners Group team with his athletic movement, scope and form on the racecourse. This son of Oasis Dream won twice on the Flat for his former trainer, Roger Varian, scoring most recently at Newcastle on 15 October in impressive style, and now has an official rating of 85. The current plan is for Jaramillo to contest juvenile hurdles and, having had a short break in the summer, he will hopefully be ready to run this side of Christmas. Jaramillo is out of the Listed-winning Montjeu mare, Guajara, who has produced the useful four-time winner, Gambon. Oasis Dream is one of the most successful and versatile sires of his generation. His best progeny include four-time Group 1 winner, Muhaarar, star filly Midday and Group 1 Prix du Moulin winner, Aqlaam, while he has also produced many multiple winners over hurdles and fences. Jaramillo is to be trained by Warren Greatrex from the historic Rhonehurst Stables in Lambourn, Berkshire. Warren was based at Rhonehurst when assistant trainer to Oliver Sherwood and he has returned as trainer following its recent purchase. Warren has enjoyed an excellent start to his training career and he has already trained a Cheltenham Festival winner.

  Alpine Girl

  Yearling filly (Flat) Trainer: James Fanshawe (Newmarket) Shares available for £53

  Alpine Girl is a yearling filly who was purchased at the prestigious Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in Newmarket, having displayed an excellent attitude and athletic ability. She is by one of the most successful sires of the last fifteen years, Acclamation. He has sired a number of top-class horses, namely Marsha (two Group 1 wins), Equiano (Group 1 King's Stand Stakes winner (twice)) and Expert Eye (Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Mile winner). His progeny are often tough and genuine, and Alpine Girl looks to have the attributes to be a promising two-year-old in 2022 who will hopefully progress as a three-year-old. Alpine Girl's dam, Almond Brook, was unraced, but she is from an excellent family and is a half-sister to four Pattern or Listed race performers. Alpine Girl is to be trained by James Fanshawe, from his historic Pegasus Stables in Newmarket. James has enjoyed a highly successful career, and his thoughtful and patient approach has seen him nurture some of the most talented horses of their generation, including multiple Group 1 winners Soviet Song and The Tin Man. Pegasus Stables is steeped in history, and James and wife Jacko's hospitality is second to none.

  Zoran

  Four-year-old bay gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Paul Nicholls (Somerset) Shares available for £33

  Zoran is a four-year-old bay gelding by Invincible Spirit. Zoran ran three times over hurdles in 2021, showing promise on his final start at Worcester in June. This big, attractive son of Invincible Spirit enjoyed a good break over the summer and early autumn and has recently undergone a wind operation. Trainer Paul Nicholls is hopeful that Zoran will be competitive from his opening hurdles rating of 97, whilst he also has the option of going back on the Flat, for which his current handicap mark is 81. Zoran has undergone some treatment on his back previously and this will continue to be managed when in training. Zoran is in training with Paul Nicholls in Somerset, who has been the champion Jumps trainer on twelve occasions.

  Tambourine Girl

  Four-year-old bay filly (broodmare) Stud: Furnace Mill Stud Shares available for £31

  BREEDING SYNDICATE Tambourine Girl is a four-year-old bay filly by Cable Bay. Tambourine Girl achieved an important success at Kempton as a two-year-old, before failing to fire in four subsequent starts. Being a half-sister to a Listed winner and out of a mare who won as a juvenile over 5f, Tambourine Girl has obvious appeal as a broodmare. She is due to be covered in early 2022, all being well and the choice of stallion will hopefully be confirmed by the end of the year. To confirm, by purchasing a share in Tambourine Girl, you will also become an owner of any foal born during this syndicate term. Tambourine Girl is due to take up broodmare duties at Furnace Mill Stud in Worcestershire.
