  Gaulois

  Five-year-old gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Paul Nicholls (Somerset) Shares available for £54

  Gaulois is an athletic five-year-old gelding. He has shown promise on both his starts so far in Ireland, and he finished second on his latest start at Fairyhouse in early March. Gaulois is by the German sire, Samum, whose best Jumps progeny to date is the dual Grade 1-winning chaser, Notebook. Gaulois is a half-brother to Owners Group's veteran chasing star, Alcala, the winner of twelve races, including nine wins over fences and the Listed Summer Plate at Market Rasen in 2017. He is also a half-brother to the useful winning hurdler/chaser Darlac, who also finished a fine second in the Grade 2 Winter Novices’ Hurdle at Sandown. Having gained some experience over hurdles this winter, Gaulois will enjoy a summer break before heading into training. He is likely to contest novice hurdles next season (from autumn 2021 to spring 2022) and he will hopefully go chasing in due course. Gaulois is to be trained by Paul Nicholls from his base in Ditcheat, Somerset. Paul has been crowned champion Jumps trainer on eleven occasions, and has achieved great success for Owners Group over the years. "I am delighted to be training Gaulois, particularly as he is a half-brother to one of our favourites at Ditcheat, Alcala. We hope that there is plenty of improvement to come and we look forward to taking charge of him." Paul Nicholls Please note that Gaulois had a wind operation prior to his first run.

  Contemplatemyfaith

  Five-year-old bay gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Olly Murphy (Warwickshire) Shares available for £57

  Contemplatemyfaith is a good-looking five-year-old gelding, who finished a decent third in a Flat race for point-to-point horses in Ireland at the end of March; staying on strongly to the line and beaten just two lengths by the winner. Contemplatemyfaith has a very strong pedigree, and is a half-brother to the useful A Great View, who won three times over hurdles and once over fences for Denis Cullen and JP McManus. He is by Califet, who has produced a number of top-class jumpers, including Cilaos Emery (Grade 1 novice hurdle winner), Clarcam (dual Grade 1 winner) and Adrien Du Pont (Grade 1 juvenile hurdle winner). The current plan is for Contemplatemyfaith to enjoy a short break before heading into training later this summer, when he will join up-and-coming trainer, Olly Murphy. Olly has enjoyed a great start to his training career and has already tasted Grade 1 glory, with Itchy Feet landing the Scilly Isles Novices' Chase at Sandown in 2020.

  Glynn

  Seven-year-old bay gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Nicky Henderson (Lambourn) Shares available for £46

  Glynn is a seven-year-old bay gelding, in training with Nicky Henderson. Glynn is by Winged Love, who has sired a number of high-class horses, including Twist Magic, Hunt Ball and Boston's Angel. Glynn, who won impressively on his hurdling debut in January 2020, has not shown the same form since. Despite finishing second on his seasonal debut back at Doncaster in December 2020, he was pulled up on both subsequent starts. Following lengthy veterinary investigations, it was decided to give Glynn another wind operation, as it was felt that he was struggling with his breathing. This appears to have gone well and the current plan is for Glynn to go chasing later this summer, providing Nicky Henderson remains happy with his progress. Glynn is in training with Nicky Henderson from his historic Seven Barrows yard in Lambourn, Berkshire. Nicky's consistency as one of the top Jumps trainers of the last forty years is remarkable, and he has enjoyed tremendous success with the likes of Sprinter Sacre, Binocular, Altior and more recently, Shishkin. Nicky also trained Owners Group's Pentland Hills to win the Grade 1 Triumph Hurdle at the 2019 Cheltenham Festival.
