A star attraction of the catalogue is the annual partial dispersal from leading National Hunt owner Gigginstown House Stud, headlined by winning hurdler and IHRB 129-rated chaser HARSH.

A promising prospect sure to attract attention is recent bumper winner GOVERNORS ROCK. Consigned by Peter Flood’s Grange Stables, the four-year-old son of JOSHUA TREE improved significantly on his debut performance to run out an emphatic three-and-a-half-length winner at Wexford on his most recent start. Already a half-brother to two winning hurdlers, the progressive gelding looks sure to improve should a trip over hurdles await.
