Len
Five-year-old gelding (Jumps)
Trainer: Paul Nicholls (Somerset)
Shares available for £59
Shares are available in the five-year-old gelding, Len. This athletic type has run twice in point-to-points in Ireland, finishing third at Lingstown in November before unseating at the last fence when in control at Oldtown in February, in a race that was run in the fastest time of the day. The lucky winner of that race, Apache Tribe, was sold for £85,000 at a recent Cheltenham sale. The form of Len's first point-to-point race at Lingstown could be strong, with the winner selling subsequently for £320,000 and the second horse winning since.
Len is by the Coolmore sire, Wings Of Eagles, who is beginning to make a name for himself as a Jumps sire, having won the Derby in 2017. Len is out of a Presenting mare and is a half-brother to the JP McManus-owned winning hurdler, Intent Approach. Len is in training with Paul Nicholls, who has been crowned Champion Jumps trainer 14 times, and trained numerous winners for Owners Group, including the Grade 1 winning hurdler and chaser, Stage Star. Len is likely to go novice hurdling next season (from October 2025) and looks like a chasing type in time.
"Len was unlucky not to win his last point-to-point start, but he's a promising young horse and we look forward to seeing how he progresses over the next season or so." Paul Nicholls
