  Richhill

  Five-year-old gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Dan Skelton (Warwickshire) Shares available for £56

  Richhill is a good-looking five-year-old gelding, who won his most recent point-to-point in Ireland in May, showing a very game attitude in the process. He is a half-brother to the useful hurdle and chase winner, Generous Day, and winning chaser, Cape Robin. He is also closely related to Grade 3-winning hurdler and Grade 2-winning chaser, Our Ben. He is by Presenting, who has sired numerous top-class Jumps horses, such as Cheltenham Gold Cup winners Denman and War Of Attrition. Richhill is to be trained by Dan Skelton from his state-of-the-art base in Warwickshire. Dan's star continues to rise in the training ranks and he has trained the winners of numerous big races, including the Grade 1 Henry VIII Novices' Chase (Allmankind), Grade 1 Kauto Star Novices' Chase (Shan Blue) as well as winners at the Cheltenham and Aintree Festivals. Dan is likely to send Richhill novice hurdling this autumn, and chasing in time. He will hopefully be ready to run from around November 2022. "I am delighted to be training Richhill for Owners Group. He looks like a very nice type and his pedigree suggests he should excel over fences. We're looking forward to getting to know him in the coming months and hope to have him ready for a first run under Rules before Christmas, with a clear run." Dan Skelton

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

  Go West is an attractive four-year-old gelding, who ran very well on his only start to date in a point-to-point in Ireland in March, when finishing a close second to a promising type. Go West is a half-brother to a two-mile winning hurdler and is out of a half-sister to a Listed winning chaser in Germany. He is by Westerner, who has sired a number of high-class Jumps horses over the years, including Grade 1 Cheltenham Festival winners Cole Harden, Ferny Hollow, and Western Warhorse. Go West is likely to be aimed at bumpers (Flat races for Jumps horses) this autumn, before hopefully going novice hurdling and then chasing in due course. Go West is an impressive individual and looks the type that should excel over fences in time. He is to be trained in Somerset by 13-time Champion Jumps Trainer, Paul Nicholls. Paul's record is extraordinary and as well as training nearly 3,500 winners, he has achieved great success for Owners Group, including with Grade 1 winner, Stage Star.

  Getaway Lily Bear

  Six-year-old bay mare (Jumps) Trainer: Olly Murphy (Warwickshire) Shares available for £31

  Getaway Lily Bear is an attractive six-year-old mare. She is closely related to seven-time winner, Jennycomequick, who was a Listed hurdles winner and the dam of Grade 2 winner Leinster. She is by Getaway, who has sired a large number of very good jumpers, including Grade 1 Christmas Hurdle winner Verdana Blue. He is also the sire of Owners Group's classy seven-time winner, Getaway Trump. Getaway Lily Bear missed last season after being diagnosed with a stress fracture of the pelvis in December 2021. Her rehabilitation at EquiPrep has gone very well and she is currently turned out in a large paddock with some other mares. The current plan is for her to return to training shortly. The prognosis for a return to racing with this type of injury is very good and trainer Olly Murphy is looking forward to hopefully making a start with Getaway Lily Bear this autumn in novice hurdles. Olly Murphy is based in Warwickshire, and he has enjoyed an excellent start to his career. His most notable success so far was in the 2020 Grade 1 Scilly Isles Novices' Chase with Itchy Feet. Olly spent time with both Alan King and Gordon Elliot before taking out his training licence, and he has already built up an enviable team of horses at his Warren Chase base in Stratford-upon-Avon.

  Unit Sixtyfour

  Seven-year-old bay gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Ben Pauling (Cheltenham) Shares available for £34

  Unit Sixtyfour is a seven-year-old bay gelding by Sholokhov. Unit Sixtyfour made an excellent impression on his first start in a handicap hurdle at Southwell in November 2021, when finishing a close second to a horse who went on to win again in the spring. Frustratingly, he was found to have a stress fracture of his right-fore fetlock [ankle] joint in February and he underwent an operation to insert a screw into the joint. This all went well and Unit Sixtyfour has been cantering away since April. Trainer Ben Pauling is hopeful that he will be ready for a run later this summer. Unit Sixtyfour is in training with Ben Pauling at his picturesque yard in Cheltenham. Ben, a former assistant trainer to Nicky Henderson, has enjoyed an excellent start to his training career, and has already chalked up two Cheltenham Festival winners, courtesy of Willoughby Court (2017) and La Breuil (2019).
