  Diderot

  Three-year-old gelding (Flat) Trainer: James Ferguson (Newmarket) Shares available for £57

  Diderot (pronounced dee derr oh) is a beautifully-bred son of Bated Breath, a proven and consistent sire of Group-class winners. This three-year-old gelding is a half-brother to four winners, including Grade 3 winner in America, Grand Jete, while his full-brother is the five-time winner, Sfumato. He is out of Modern Look, who was a Group 3 winner as a juvenile and a Group 2 winner as a three-year-old. Diderot won his second start for his previous connections (trainer Ger Lyons and owner Juddmonte) in March this year, when impressing at Dundalk in a maiden over a mile. On Diderot's last start at the Curragh in June, he looked desperately unlucky when short of room at a vital stage, when in the process of running a big race. He caught the eye of many when making up a lot of late ground in the closing stages to finish with a flourish. He was purchased by Owners Group at the Tattersalls July Sale in Newmarket after this run. Diderot's current Irish handicap rating is 88. Diderot is to be trained by James Ferguson in Newmarket. James has enjoyed an excellent start to his fledgling training career and has already trained a big winner for Owners Group, in the shape of First Folio, who landed a competitive and valuable heritage handicap at York in June. Following his purchase, Diderot has enjoyed a short break and he is due to join James Ferguson shortly, all being well. James is likely to aim Diderot for races in the early autumn and given his maiden win came on the all-weather, he may also consider some valuable races on the sand this winter.

  Wurlitzer

  Three-year-old bay gelding (Dual) Trainer: Alan King (Wiltshire) Shares available for £44

  Wurlitzer is a three-year-old bay gelding by Adaay. Wurlitzer showed decent form as a two-year-old in 2020 and it is hoped that this son of Adaay will progress in 2021, as he possibly looks towards going juvenile hurdling in the autumn. Trainer Alan King is hopeful that Wurlitzer can improve with experience and build on his promising efforts so far. Wurlitzer is in training with Alan King, who has an excellent record with horses under both codes (Flat and Jumps).

  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). Contemplatemyfaith has enjoyed a good summer break and has now joined his 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.
