Believitanducan
Three-year-old gelding (Dual) Trainer: Alan King (Wiltshire) Shares available for £55
Shares are available in the three-year-old gelding, Believitanducan. This good-looking son of Make Believe won over two miles on soft ground at Beverley recently and looks an ideal type to go hurdling in due course. He has size and scope and has a progressive profile, having been placed on all three of his starts this year prior to his win in July. He is closely related to the Group 3 1m4f winner, Remus De La Tour, who was a useful stayer in France. His sire's best progeny is the top-class Mishriff, who won three Group 1s, including the Juddmonte International at York. Believitanducan is to be trained by Alan King at his beautiful Barbury Castle Stables in Wiltshire. Alan has enjoyed a highly successful career to date and is known as one of the best dual-purpose trainers in the country, boasting wins at the top level over Jumps and on the Flat. Alan has trained numerous top Jumps horses, including My Way De Solzen, Sceau Royal and Edwardstone. He has also achieved great success on the Flat with the likes of Trueshan. Whilst we hope that Believitanducan will develop into a useful hurdler, Alan may wish to explore the Flat route further with him if he feels that there is more to come from him on the level. As a three-year-old (he turns four on 1 January 2025), Believitanducan is eligible for juvenile hurdles this season, and he will hopefully be fresh and ready for this challenge from the autumn onwards, having enjoyed a good break at EquiPrep following his purchase this summer. "Believitanducan is very progressive on the Flat. He ticks a lot of the right boxes and he could be a really exciting dual-purpose horse." Alan King

It's Hard To Know
Five-year-old chesnut gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Ben Pauling (Cotswolds) Shares available for £58
Shares are available in the five-year-old chesnut gelding, It's Hard To Know. This tough and genuine young horse really took the eye on his Point-to-Point debut at Kirkistown on 10 February, when kicking clear after the last fence to score decisively. The form of his Point-to-Point is already working out very well, with the fourth-placed Cabaret Prince winning impressively on his next start and Our Shane, who was pulled up in It's Hard To Know's race, getting off the mark at Tyrella on 2 March. It's Hard To Know is by Malinas, who has sired a number of top jumpers, including Medinas (Grade 2 winner over hurdles), American (Listed chase winner and Grade 2 placed), and Mister Malarky (Grade 2 novice chase winner). It's Hard To Know is from the family of Lakemilan, a six-time winner, including a Grade 2 success over hurdles and multiple Pattern race placings. It's Hard To Know is in training with Ben Pauling in Gloucestershire. Ben has enjoyed an excellent season, and his state-of-the-art yard boasts splendid facilities. It's Hard To Know is likely to be ready to run from the autumn (2024) and start off in novice hurdles. "I really like It's Hard To Know. He fitted into life here very easily in the spring and went well. I am looking forward to going hurdling with him in the autumn. We look forward to him returning to training in the summer after he's enjoyed a break." Ben Pauling

Idaho Valley
Four-year-old bay gelding (Jumps) Trainer: Donald McCain (Cheshire) Shares available for £59
Shares are available in the four-year-old gelding, Idaho Valley. This very good-looking son of Idaho won his only point-to-point start in Ireland in February, displaying an excellent attitude. The race at Tallow looked competitive on paper and it could throw up plenty of winners in time. He and the second-placed Dont Tell Jack pulled over 20 lengths clear of the third. Idaho Valley is well-related, being a half-brother to the four-time winner, Toss Again. He is from the family of Cab On Target and Glenelly Gale, both Grade 1 winning chasers. His sire, Idaho, was runner-up in the Irish Derby and won the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot as a four-year-old. Idaho Valley is in training with Donald McCain, who sourced this horse in Ireland with Owners Group in mind. Donald has enjoyed great success for Owners Group over the past few years, particularly with the Grade 1-placed Maximilian. Idaho Valley progressed well in his initial training with Donald McCain, and he will now enjoy a summer break. Idaho Valley is due to go novice hurdling in the autumn. He will hopefully make up into a chaser in time. "Idaho Valley is a lovely type and has settled in really well at Bankhouse Stables. I am happy with the progress Idaho Valley has made, and we have saved him for novice hurdles this coming autumn, depending on how he progresses further. He was very tough in his point-to-point, and I loved how he battled to deny the well-fancied runner-up." Donald McCain
