  Gillespie

  Three-year-old gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Paul Nicholls (Somerset) Shares available for £57

  Shares are available in Gillespie, a strong and good-looking three-year-old gelding. This imposing individual was purchased at the famous Tattersalls Derby Sale in Ireland in June and after being broken in, Gillespie had some educational work on the gallops and some schooling over hurdles. He was turned out at the end of the summer and is due to commence work again shortly. Gillespie is by the top-class Jumps sire, Getaway, whose best progeny include Grade 1 winner, Verdana Blue, and Owners Group's Getaway Trump, who won seven races under Rules and finished second to Champ in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle at Newbury as a novice hurdler. Gillespie is a full-brother to The Big Breakaway, who has always been highly regarded and has finished runner-up in a Grade 1 novice chase at Kempton and the Welsh Grand National in a successful career to date. His full-sister, Say Goodbye, is a Grade 2-placed and four-time winner over Jumps. Gillespie is also a half-brother to Aintree Grade 3 winner and Cheltenham Festival runner-up, Kildisart. Gillespie is in training with Paul Nicholls, who has been crowned champion trainer on a remarkable 14 occasions. He has enjoyed great success for Owners Group over the years, most notably with Grade 1 winner and recent Paddy Power Gold Cup winner, Stage Star. Paul plans to bring Gillespie into work by January and then introduce him to the main string at Ditcheat. Being a 'store' horse, who was only broken in this summer, Paul is more likely to aim for bumper races with him next autumn (2024). "Gillespie is a lovely big horse with lots of scope. He did everything right, back in the summer, and has enjoyed a good break over the last couple of months, to allow him to grow and develop. Whilst I wouldn't totally rule out a bumper run in the spring, we are more likely to wait until the following autumn." Paul Nicholls

  Syllabus

  Three-year-old gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Dan Skelton (Warwickshire) Shares available for £55

  Shares are available in the three-year-old gelding, Syllabus. This good-looking horse was purchased at the recent Horses In Training Sale at Newmarket as he looked a very athletic type who will hopefully excel over hurdles. Syllabus has been lightly raced on the Flat but has shown good form, being placed second or third on four of his six starts for trainer William Haggas and his previous owner. One of his best runs came at Ffos Las in September, when Syllabus finished second over a mile and a half on soft ground. He is beautifully bred, being a half-brother to the Group 3 winner and Group 2 placed, Zechariah. Syllabus is by the excellent sire, Sea The Stars, whose best progeny to date include last season's superstar, Baaeed, and multiple Pattern race winner, including at Group 1 level, Crystal Ocean. Sea The Star's best horse over Jumps to date has been Starchitect, who was a decent performer over hurdles and fences, winning five times for Donald McCain and David Pipe. Syllabus is in training with Dan Skelton in Warwickshire. Dan is one of the most successful trainers in the country and has achieved plenty of success, including at the Cheltenham Festival, since taking out his training licence in 2013 after spending nine years under the wing of Paul Nicholls. Dan is hoping to have Syllabus ready to run in the first quarter of 2024, when he will be aimed at juvenile hurdles. "Syllabus has shown good form on the Flat and I particularly like that he can handle some cut in the ground. I am looking forward to aiming him for juvenile hurdles in the new year." Dan Skelton

  Shares are available in the stunning three-year-old gelding, Camarrate. This good-looking gelding was purchased at the recent Tattersalls Horses In Training Sale in Newmarket and he caught the eye with his athleticism and scope. Camarrate is lightly raced and has made only three racecourse appearances to date. His second run, in September, resulted in a game win at Kempton over a mile and a half, when showing an excellent attitude. He is a half-brother to the Listed hurdles winner, Six Feet Apart, and is from the family of French Derby winner, Celtic Swing. Camarrate is by the Coolmore Stud sire, Gleneagles, who has sired some useful hurdlers, as well as a number of Group race winners on the Flat. Camarrate is in training with Donald McCain at his Bankhouse Stables in Cholmondeley, Cheshire. Donald is one of the most successful Jumps trainers in the country and has achieved success at the highest level, including a Grand National win with Ballabriggs. Donald has trained a number of winners for Owners Group, with Grade 2 winner and Grade 1-placed Maximilian being the best of these to date. Donald is hoping to have Camarrate ready to run in the new year, when the plan would be for him to go juvenile hurdling. "Camarrate is an eye-catching individual who looks to have lots of scope for improvement. We will aim to get him schooled over hurdles this side of Christmas, before hopefully looking for juvenile hurdles for him in early 2024." Donald McCain
