  Innamorato

  Three-year-old grey gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Paul Nicholls (Somerset) Shares available for £53

  Innamorato is an attractive three-year-old grey gelding. He showed decent form on the Flat in France this spring, before placing in both his starts over hurdles at Clairefontaine more recently. Innamorato benefitted from his first experience over timber and jumped well when finishing a sound third in a competitive race on his most recent start. He looks the type to improve with experience and will hopefully develop into a useful juvenile hurdler this season. He is by The Grey Gatsby and out of an Authorized mare, so has the ideal pedigree for his burgeoning hurdling career. Innamorato is to be trained by Paul Nicholls from his Ditcheat base in Somerset. Paul has achieved great success with juvenile hurdlers over the years and has won the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival twice (with Celestial Halo and Zarkandar). Paul has been crowned Champion Jumps Trainer 14 times and has trained numerous winners for Owners Group, including at the highest level with Stage Star. "It's great to be training a juvenile hurdler for Owners Group. This horse ticks all the boxes and looks an ideal type." Paul Nicholls

  Maximilian

  Nine-year-old chesnut gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Donald McCain (Cheshire) Shares available for £49

  Maximilian is a nine-year-old chesnut gelding by Adlerflug. Adlerflug, a high-class German stallion, was a dual Group 1 winner and sired 2021 Arc winner Torquator Tasso and the German Derby winner, In Swoop. Maximilian returned from injury towards the end of last year. His run at Chepstow on 22 February was disappointing, but a post-race scope revealed that he had taken in a substantial amount of mud into his airways which would have affected his performance. Donald McCain is looking forward to enjoying a full campaign with him this season and it's likely that Maximilian will go novice chasing. Maximilian is in training with Donald McCain in Cheshire. Donald has enjoyed a hugely successful career and, as well as winning the Grand National with Ballabriggs in 2011, he has tasted success at the Cheltenham Festival and won many of the season's top races since taking over the reins from his father, Ginger McCain, in the 2006/07 season. Maximilian has a current British Horseracing Authority (BHA) Jumps (Hurdle) rating of 141 (the average rating is 101).

He didn't enjoy much luck over fences last season, and he has been off in recent months with knee issues.
