Lot 63: Puffing (Kingman) and sold in-foal to Caturra on a February 21st service date makes 30,000gns.

Consigned by Baton Sales, the mare is a daughter of Puff (Camacho), who won the Fred Darling Stakes (G3) and was placed fourth in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes.

She is a half-sister to the admirable Sovereign Debt, who won 15 races in including three Group 3 races and five times at Listed level. He was also twice a runner-up in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes (G1).

Second dam Kelsey Rose won three races as a two-year-old and and was placed 17 times, including when second in Sandy Lane Stakes (L), third in the Champion 2yo Trophy (L) and the Pavilion Stakes (L). (11:18)

Lot 15: offered by Plumton Hall Stud, Baby Intello is bought by Kildaragh Stud for 13,000gns.

The three-year-old daughter of Intello has run once and is out of the Lillie Langtry Stakes (G3) fourth-placed Rosika (Sakhee), also a Listed race runner-up and three-time winner.

She is dam of Dubka, who went two places better than her dam in the Lillie Langtry, and Soffika, who was placed second in the Sweet Solera Stakes (G3).

It is the further family of the Listed winner and Group-placed Rambling Rose, her son Notnowcato, winner of the Juddmonte International (G1), the Coral Eclipse Stakes (G1) and the Tattersalls Gold Cup (G1), and Dubday, who won the Glorious Stakes (G3) and was third in the Preis von Europa (G1). The son of Dubawi also went on to do so well in Qatar winning The Amir's Trophy (twice), the Qatar Derby and the Qatar Gold Heir Apparent Trophy (twice). (10:43)

At the conclusion of the 2023 Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up and Horses in Training Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented: “The momentum from the recent record-breaking Craven Breeze Up Sale has been well and truly sustained at a second consecutive record-breaking renewal of the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up and Horses in Training Sale.

"The combined turnover for the breeze up two-year-olds and horses-in-training has surpassed last year’s record of 6.7 million guineas, the key indicators of average and median have matched or exceeded last year’s impressive returns and 13 two-year-olds have sold for 100,000 guineas or more, which is another record-breaking figure for the fixture.

“Traditionally the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up and Horses in Training Sale attracts an abundance of overseas buyers and this year has been no exception with international demand, most notably from throughout Europe and the Gulf region, proving to be a feature of the sale which has also produced a combined clearance rate well in excess of 80 per cent.

"Domestic buyers have as ever made a huge contribution to a successful sale and it is a tribute to the consignors that the breeze up sector continues to go from strength to strength. There is no doubt that the consistent ability of both the Tattersalls Craven and Guineas Breeze Up Sales to produce Classic and Group 1 winners has not gone unnoticed by the buyers and we look forward to seeing plenty more quality performers emerge from both sales in the coming months.” (22:00)

Lot 322: we get a joint top lot... the colt by Time Test is bought by trainer Michael O'Callaghan for 200,000gns from Mocklershill.

The colt was bought as a foal by Pier House Stud at the Tattersalls December Sale for 67,000gns, and Brendan Morrin reported that the decision was made quite early to breeze rather than sell as a yearling.

The colt is out of the unraced Galileo mare Lady Glinka, the dam of two winners and an own-sister to Mikhail Glinka, a Group 2 winner in Dubai and a Royal Ascot winner of the Queen's Vase (G3).

"Willie does five or six breezers for us every year," said Morrin. "This horses has a lot of Galileo in him and Willie has done a fantastic job on him. We decided we'd hang on and wait for breeze rather than sell as a yearling, sometimes this plans don't work when buying them as foals but we have been lucky today. He went to Willie's in January unbroken, but we had handled him with the sales yearlings. Willie makes all the decisions as regards sale plans, we go to the best send these horses to him!"

Brown said: "He is a magnificent looking horse, he looks a racehorse, he is a great walking horse and has a great mind on him. I thought waiting for this sale might give him a bit of extra time and he was a stand out today. We have had a great run with the horses sent to us by the Morrins."

O'Callaghan saw the likeness in the horse to his Group 2 Beresford Stakes winner Crypto Force, who was from the second crop of Time Test and was a Tattersalls Guineas Sale 2022 graduate when bought by the trainer for 160,000gns.

"This is a lovely, quality horse, and I hope lightning can strike twice – we bought Crypto Force here last year and he was also out of a Galileo mare. This horse breezed well, he has a lovely action and was a bit green in his breeze, but we can forgive him that," said O'Callaghan.

Underbidder was Richard Ryan. (19:13)

Lot 309: the son of Farhh and out of Indigo River (Kodiac) is sold by Tally-Ho Stud and signed for by Rabbah Bloodstock at 150,000gns, trainer James Tate, standing in his customary position near the window, in charge of bidding.

"We like the sire and have had some luck with him, they improve with age and time," he reported. "This a lovely horse with a smashing temperament. We are excited to have him, and we bough Far Above at this sale. He is for Sheikh Duma."

Far Above was a 105,000gns purchase by Blandford Bloodstock from Bushypark Stud at this sale in 2018. He went on to ewon the Group 3 Palace House Stakes. (18:45)

Lot 308: is bought by Oliver St Lawrence for the Fawzi Nass ownership team, and the filly goes into training with Jamie Osborne. She cost 150,000gns and is by Congrats (A P Indy) and was sold by Greenlands Farm. She is a grand-daughter of Impossible Time, a champion older mare in Canada in 2010.

"She is a filly put her up to us by Jamie, nice big scopey filly she had done an okay time for a 'non-fast' filly. As she has a US pedigree, she could ship to run in Dubai if that works in after the season ends here. She is not an early May filly," reported St Lawrence. (18:44)

Lot 301: one of the expected top lots lives up to his reputation and sells for 200,000gns bought by trainer Richard Hughes / Ted Durcan.

By Zoffany and out of Guardia (Monsun), an own-sister to the champions Getaway and Guadalupe, the colt was sold by Cormac Farrell Bloodstock, having been purchased by Farrell for €55,000 from Jamie Railton at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale.

Farrell said: "I am absolutely delighted, I came here expecting to get a nice price, but you never know until you get the breeze out of the way, it is great that people liked him.

"We have been patient with him as he is a big rangy horse. It is amazing that he can breeze so fast, I'd say he is a very good horse, and it sounds silly to say, but we did come here thinking we might be able to top the sale. It is great that he has done what we hoped he would do.

"I think he might be a freak, he can do sections like a 6f horse not a horse wanting 1m4f, he could be just be exceptional and he has shown us that from the very minute we started with him.

"He has just had this insane turn of foot, and it did not make sense, particularly as we thought a bit of the other horses we had, the Kodiacs and the Starspangleds... we just thought 'what is going on?'

"We did not do much work with him, we were nursing him all along, he was raw and we went very steady and it was only a month ago that we started to ask him to show us what he could do, and it was so natural to him that we did not have to do much with him before coming here, just a couple of gallops."

Of the buying process as a yearling, Farrell recalled: "We thought we were give n plenty of money for him at the time as he was a big raw yearling, but at the same time we were very happy to have bought him.

People laughed at me when I said we were going to breeze him and I could see why – in December he looked like an overgrown yearling still, but he has thrived since.

Buyer Richard Hughes, said: "He is for an existing client. I didn't think he should be able to go as quick as he has done and with the backbone of his pedigree a top class staying German family, he has to be good. He is nice big loose horse.

"I will probably turn him out for some May grass now, I think it will do him good and we will get him in in a month or so and look to ready him for an October maiden."

Underbidders included Stuart Boman, Jamie Piggott and Richard Fitzsimons. (18:39)

Lot 289: this colt by the first-season sire Solider Call is bought by Federico Barberini / Alan King for 110,000gns. Trainer Alan King was in charge of the yellow sales docket, and Chocolate Thornton, representing the owner, said: "He is obviously going into training with Alan and the plan is to get on as quick as possible, he looks that type.

"he seems very amenable, breezed well. We will get on and see where we are, and that is what we were looking for.

"Might not be a usual type for Alan, but he has done it before with Asymmetric [winner of the Richmond Stakes (G2) and by Showcasing] who was a similar type."

Of the young sire, Thornton added: "This horse is bought in association with Federico Barberini, who has a huge connection with Soldier's Call so the team know a lot plenty about him."

Soldier's Call stands at Ballyhane Stud for €7,500. He won the Flying Childers Stakes (G2) at two, and was placed in the King's Stand Stakes (G1) and runner-up in the Nunthorpe Stakes (G1) for owner Clipper Logistics. (17:56)

Lot 288: sold by Nikki Scallan and Antonio Da Silva's A & N Bloodstock, this daughter of Starspangledbanner makes 120,000gns. Bought by Middleham Park Racing she is out of the Soldier Hollow mare Felissa, a half-sister to the Group 3 winner and Group 2 producer Felicity. She was bought as a yearling for €40,000.

Tom Palin of Middleham Park said: "She goes to Hugo Palmer, there is no finer trainer of one by Starspangledbanner. It is the obvious fit. He loved her, we loved her and she timed quite nicely. She is a big strong filly, has a bit of stamina to her pedigree so she is not whizz bang type, she looks like she should progress like most of Hugo's 'Starspangleds' have done. " (17:45)

Lot 272: "He breezed a very fast time, despite still a bit green, his sire Magna Grecia has had a good start and physically this is a very good horse, and is a very good mover," reported trainer John McConnell after spending 115,000gns on this colt, a 22,000gns October Book 2 graduate, offered by Yeomanstown Stud and by the Coolmore-based first-season sire.

He added: "We thought we'd have to spend a bit to get him, but did not think we'd have to spend quite so much, but there was strong competition for him.

"He did everything that you'd want from a racehorse. He will come back to my yard and hopefully will start off in a maiden in six or eight weeks' time. He is for an existing client based in the US."

The February colt is a first foal out of Dawn Choir (Fastnet Rock), a daughter of the Listed-placed Heavenly Dawn, an own-sister to the dual Grade 1 winner Megahertz and the Group 2 winner, three-time Group 1-placed Heaven Sent.

Magna Grecia has had four runners so far and one winner – the Amy Murphy-trained Myconian, who is out of the Choisir mare Sirici. (17:14)

Lot 216: Tom Malone goes to 100,000gns for this filly by Ardad and out of the Rip Van Winkle mare Totally Lost, a half-sister to the Listed winner Justice Belle and to the dam of the Listed winners Night Of Light and Maria Gabriella.

"She has been bought for Charlie Pike, a young man who is going to be starting training, and this filly has bought by his future father-in-law Gary Gillies for him to train," reported Malone. "Charlie is going to be based as an assistant to trainer Jimmy Fox for a year."

About the filly he said: "I loved her, and the big thing is that she has the GB bonus, which is important for owners in Britain, she has some chance of getting back some money."

Of her breeze he said: "She breezed well and looks an inexperienced sort. She breezed in the first 25 per cent of the times and that is good enough for me.

Malone has also purchased a Cracksman colt today for 40,000gns (Lot 183). (15:36)

Lot 204: bloodstock agent Richard Ryan, standing at the top of the left stairs, spends 150,000gns on this Profitable colt sold by Malcolm Bastard.

"He is for a partnership between Teme Valley and Opulence Thoroughbreds," explained Ryan. "It will be the second horse we have together. He will go to trainer Clive Cox [trainer of the Group 1 winner Profitable], and it looks a good fit."

He added: "He did a respectable time, we liked the horse a lot and he is a great physical specimen. He is a particularly strong individual, and as a stamp of horse he is exactly my cup of tea. I am sure Clive will like him when he sees him. He is going to be a second-half of the season two-year-old and make up into a lovely three-year-old."

Of his breeze up purchasing strategy, Ryan outlined: "It is a combination of everything. I am not that hot on times, especially if it is a horse who should not be blitzing this time of year. For a big strong horse like this you look to see whether he has done the breeze respectably and not in a hopeless time, presented in the bridle properly, extended and used his stride, and then finished out his gallop. This horse has been also well produced by Malcolm."

Ryan purchased Lot 34 at the Craven Sale, a colt by Starspangledbanner and out of Rely On Me for 320,000gns, purchasing on behalf of a partnership between Teme Valley and MV Magnier, and Ryan updated: "So far so good and Joseph [O'Brien] is very happy with him." (15:00)

Lot 190: the Almanzor chestnut colt is bought by Blandford Bloodstock on behalf of owner Peter Jeffers sold by M. C. Thoroughbreds for 95,000gns.

"This colt has been bought for owner Peter Jeffers, who became a client last year," reported Richard Brown. "We bought him two last year – a Craven Breeze Up colt by Starspangledbanner who is called James McHenry and who won impressively the other day and might make up into a Britannia horse, and a colt called Open Choice who has only run once so far.

"Peter is a complete enthusiast, and he lets me get on with it. He does not want the 'whizz bangs'; Peter is looking for horses who will be mile plus types. He let's Ed take his time and there is no rush."

Of this colt, who is out of the Exceed And Excel mare Rue Cambon, a full-sister to the Group 2 Goldene Peitsche winner Royal Intervention, and a half-sister to the Beverly D Stakes (G1) winner Gorella, and Porto Santo, a Listed winner in France.

"This is a lovely horse, he is a big lad and is bred to go much further than he was asked to yesterday. He looks like he will be a 7f horse that goes 1m2f in time.

"He has a very good pedigree and he is smart colt. (14:40)

Lot 154: the Sea The Stars filly out of Pinkster is bought by Oakgrove Stud for 150,000gns, stud manager David Hilton at Tattersalls on buying duties for John Deer's Chepstow-based farm.

"It is very much a pedigree-based purchase," explained Hilton. "Mr Deer is very fond of the pedigree, we have Poplin under the econd dam and she is doing well for us.

"We are happy to buy this filly, whether we race her or not is up for debate, but she will join the broodmare band eventually."

He further outlined: "I spoke to Megan Evans at Vicarage, who was very honest and said they have not done a great deal with her. She is very elegant, big, she has a lovely head and is a good mover. She is very 'Sea The Stars' and Nathaniel is starting to do well as a broodmare sire. Pinkster is a Newsells Park-based mare and I am sure they will be looking after her very well and we will be looking on with interest."

Pinkster (2015) is a young mare and is dam of one winner from one runner – Paz (Siyouni) a winner as a two-year-old in France last year. She runs in the Listed Prix des Lilas at Chantilly tonight, and, with a bit of luck, Oakgrove could get an immediate black-type update for today's new purchase.

Second dam is Puce (Darshaan), dam of the Lancashire Oaks (G2) winner Pongee and grand-dam of the Group 1 producer Prudenzia, whose progeny includes Magic Wand and Chicquita. (13:43)

Lot 128: Caustic, a unraced three-year-old son of Galileo from the Juddmonte Farms draft, goes to trainer Ian Williams for 75,000gns.

Williams said: "He’s been bought on spec. I’m not sure of the plan yet but we’ll get him home and geld him, and then see where he are. He’s a lovely type of horse who vetted well – just the type we enjoy training."

The colt is out of the Dynaformer mare Starformer, a multiple Graded race winner in the US and dam of the Listed winner and Grade 2 placed Flavius.

She is daughter of Etoile Montante, the Group 1 winner of the Prix de la Foret and placed in the Prix Marcel Boussac (G1), the Prix Maurice De Gheest (G1), the Matriarch Stakes (G1) and the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (G1).

The last Tattersalls purchases made by Williams were made at the Ascot March Sale where he bought eight lots and was the sale's top buyer.

He updated: "I am really pleased with them all, they are going on well and cantering away. They have all had the winter off – if I buy one at the October HIT Sale I will give the horse the winter off, and these have had that time, too." (12:43)

Lot 114: "He is for a new owner with trainer George Baker," said buyer Ted Durcan after going to 75,000gns for Kiwano. "He is a lovely consistent type, and must have fast ground. He should be a fun Saturday horse for this summer. He came recommended by previous trainer David Simcock."

The speedy Kiwano, a son of Dabirsim and bred by High Valley Equine, is a three-time winner over 5f, 6f and 7f. His last win came in March off 92, ridden by Jamie Spencer, and finished a good third in a Lingfield 0-105 over 5f in March, again ridden by Spencer. (12:13)

Lot 93: Sausalito (Frankel), a six-time winner this year for Gary Moore, is bought by Ramiro Restrepo on behalf of Suliman Bloodstock for 50,000gns. Restrepo purchased remotely from Lexington and via the telephone to Tattersalls marketing director Jimmy George.

Restrepo, a regular buyer at Tattersalls, said later via WhatsApp: "This colt will be headed to Saudi Arabia for Naif Suliman. You cannot go wrong with a winner. He’s a Frankel; who is in fine form this year with six wins and two placings over his last eight races this year. He’s rated 75 going 10-12f, which fits Saudi Arabia like a glove. I am always pleased to buy quality stock at Tattersalls.”

Sausalito, bred by Fairway Thoroughbreds, was bought by Moore for 10,000gns at last year's July Horses In Training Sale. The horse ran five times for Moore before beginning a winning run of five in February off a BHA mark of 48.

The concluding victory of the five-timer came in March off 62. The four-year-old gelded son of Frankel was then placed twice at Lingfield before winning last time out on April 26 over 1m2f and rated 70. (12:02)

Chairman's statement: At the conclusion of the 2023 Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented;

“Two Craven Breeze Up Classic winners last year as well as more 2022 two-year-old Group and Listed performers than any other European two-year-olds in training sale have been the perfect advertisements for the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale and this year’s renewal has attracted leading international buyers in abundance, all of whom have contributed to notably strong demand particularly at the higher end of the market and a record sale turnover in excess of 15 million guineas.

“There has been a significant rise in the number of lots of selling for 200,000 guineas or more and a number of participants new to the Craven Breeze Up Sale, all of which demonstrates the sale's international reputation as a consistent source of horses which go on to prove themselves at the highest level on the global stage.

"The largest Craven Breeze Up catalogue for more than 15 years, 25% larger than last year, may not quite have matched the impressive clearance rate of last year’s sale, but the key indicators of average and median have both held up well and there has been no shortage of outstanding pinhooking triumphs with the obvious highlights being the 625,000 guineas sale-topping colts by Havana Grey and Blue Point, consigned Glending Stables and Oak Tree Farm respectively, and Grove Stud's 600,000 guineas filly, who is the second highest priced filly ever sold at the Craven Breeze Up.

“Year after year the consignors support the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up with so many of the best breeze up two-year-olds to be found in Europe and it is wonderful to see their professionalism and confidence in the sale rewarded as it has been over the past two days.

"Buyers, both domestic and international, have shown similar confidence in the sale and we look forward not only to seeing many of them rewarded with the lucrative Tattersalls bonuses which have proved so popular since their inception, but also to welcoming many of them back to the forthcoming Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up and Horses in Training Sale.” (23:40)

Lot 199: another good result for Oak Tree Farm – Norman Williamson sells this son of first-season sire Blue Point to Anthony Stroud on behalf of Godolphin for a joint sale-topping 625,000gns.

"He is for Godolphin," said Stroud. "Blue Point has made a great start, this colt comes from a top consignor and he fits the profile. He will go to Charlie Appleby, who has a few by the sire and likes what he has."

A beaming Williamson, the sale's leading consignor, said: "We bought this colt privately and I loved him when we bought him. All spring people have been telling me that they had Blue Points could run, I kept my powder dry, but I knew I had a good one. I am thrilled.

"Although Native Trail went from this sale and won just six weeks' later, this is a sharper sort than him, he just feels like he is one to point and shoot – he feels fast."

Williamson added: "It has been a great week, it is what you do it for and the team have done a top job."

The colt was consigned at the Tattersalls October Book 2 Sale by Tradewinds where he was a vendor buy back. He had previously been purchased by John Rowe at the Tattersalls December Sale 2021 for 110,000gns, bought from Norelands, (21:57)

Lot 198: the Havana Grey colt out of Mosa Mine (Exceed And Excel) is sold by Glending Stables to Stroud Coleman Bloodstock with Anthony Stroud buying the colt for 625,000gns. Richard Brown of Blandford Bloodstock was underbidder.

"Havana Grey has done really well, he is a legitimate sire and had the good filly win today," said Stroud. "The colt breezed well in good time and looks a two-year-old type."

He was sold by Roderic Kavanagh of Glending Stables who said: "Havana Grey has done so well and had the Group 3 winner today and an impressive one at that.

"You hope all the interested parties going to all pitch up and it has obviously got late in the sale and it is a bit lonely, but they all got there. We had some great judges on him. He is an athletic horse, with a bit of scope, I don't think he is just a sprinter type, hopefully he will get 7f or a mile."

He added: "This easily our best result, most of them make 25,000gns! When it happens, it happens. We have had a good week and the two have breezed so well, they are naturally fast horses. We are delighted.

"Cormac O'Flynn buys most of them with me, he is the brains of the outfit, I just get to hold the reins!"

The colt was pinhooked by the pair at the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale for 42,000gns.

O'Flynn said: "It was Roderic found him at the sale, we went down to see him together and I liked him from the outset. We were delighted to get him and he has just gone from strength to strength." (21:44)

Lot 172: Richard Brown successfully buys this Kilminfoyle House Stud-consigned daughter of Blue Point at 350,000gns.

"She is gorgeous, she is a beautiful filly," said Brown. "I think she will need a little bit of time, I don't think we will try and make her into a Royal Ascot filly, but we will see, we will let whoever is going to train her decide on that.

"Blue Point has made a tremendous start. She obviously did a good breeze, she did not blitz up but did it in a really good style. I can't imagine she liked that ground as she has a low action. She is from a good Juddmonte family and I think she could be a bit special. I am delighted to get her."

Brown has bought the filly for the same client as Lot 118, and as the no Nay Never filly she will be trained in England or France.

JC Bloodstock paid 70,000gns for the filly at the Tattersalls October Book 2 Sale buying her from Ballyhimikin Stud. (20:42)

Lot 162: becomes the star of the show, the Night Of Thunder filly, a half-sister to the Molecomb Stakes (G3) winner and Middle Park Stakes (G1) third placed Rumble Inthe Jungle, is bought by Kerri Radcliffe for 600,000gns, sold by Grove Stud.

She is the second highest-priced filly ever sold at the Craven Sale.

Radcliffe said: "She has got the pedigree so she got residual value and she comes from a great consignor. She did a lovely breeze, not one of the quickest times, that's not what I buy, I like to buy something that finishes out well. Whenever she hit the rising ground she took off, and that is what you want to see them do."

Of plans she outlined: "She is for a new client based in London and we don't know where she is going to go yet – give me 24 hours to think about it! I am getting on a plane to Florida in the morning so I have plenty of time to think of it. She will either stay in Britain or go to France."

Radcliffe added: "I saw her in February and loved her and physically she has done very well since then. Hopefully she will be very good, and, hopefully, she will be an Ascot filly."

Consignor Brendan Holland of Grove Stud was understandably delighted with the sale.

"It is a great result for the farm,," he said. "I Ioved her when I bought her as a yearling, Night Of Thunder is a top class sire and she is from a really fast family. It is very hard to buy something with speed all the way through the page, which she has and to be by such a good sire.

"I did not dream that we could get a result like that today, but we did think at the farm that she was the best filly we have had since Rosdhu Queen [Group 1 winner, 2012 Craven Sale 65,000gns graduate], and we really liked her coming into the sale."

Recalling purchase last autumn, Holland said: "She had a great physique at the yearling sale, she was a May foal and she looked like she would improve physically.

"She has improved again, she is very mature, she has a great top and great limbs. You can get anything by the sire and he had the fastest sprinter in Europe last year and that was a filly. She was an easy buy at the sales, at the time it was a lot of money, but today has exceeded expectations."

She has been showing Holland plenty of talent at home.

"Her ability all spring was very evident. Even though she is a May filly, and she has to win her maiden, but there is a chance she could end up at Ascot – it is big shout for an unraced two-year-old filly, she looks like an Ascot horse.

"She has always been able to run, the running bit has been easy for her. On reflection she was a very good yearling buy, but giving €90,000 to pinhook any yearling is no small price." (20:34)

Lot 133: a good result for a young consignor at Tattersalls – Conor Hoban's Beechlea Bloodstock sells this Night Of Thunder colt to Alex Elliott for 180,000gns.

The colt is out of Dorcas Lane, the Listed winner and Ribblesdale Stakes (G2) third placed daughter of Norse Dancer. She is the dam of two winners, both of whom have black-type Listed placed form to their names.

Hoban said: "We have been pre-training since 2018 and we are slowing developing a breeze-up and consigning arm to run alongside. We are relatively new to this – we had one at Newmarket last year and we have five or six to sell this year.

"We were sent this well-bred colt to sell by a client and we were delighted to get him. He did a very good breeze, has been very straightforward at home and shown a lot of class. He is a May foal so we think he is just going to get better and better. He has developed a lot in the last few months and we are looking forward to following his progress."

Beechlea will back to Newmarket with one lot catalogued for the Guineas Sale, also has one to sell at the Tattersalls Ireland Goresbridge Sale. (19:14)

Lot 118: Richard Brown, a regular successful breeze-up buyer at Tattersalls, did not buy a horse yesterday, but made up for that today when spending 340,000gns on the No Nay Never colt sold by Oak Tree Farm.

"I am delighted as I did not buy a horse last night!" laughed Brown. "This is a lovely horse, he is going to need some time, he is a big horse. He is not even a two-year-old yet – his birthday is not until May 16, so he still nearly a month off his second birthday – so to breeze the way he did I thought was pretty sensational.

"He is a big striding horse, he seems to have a great attitude and he is from a very good hotel in Oak Tree. I was keen to get him. I have bought him for an existing client and I don't know who will train him, but it will be in England or France."

Brown added: "He was not particularly fast in his breeze, but he did it in a very good style. We will give him plenty of time now and then hopefully will see him in the late summer and autumn."

The colt was bought by Mags O'Toole and Oak Tree Farm for €87,000 last autumn. (18:47)

Lot 110: Mark Grant initally got his best-ever result in the sale ring yesterday when selling Lot 1 for 180,000gns, but then put that pribehind him today when selling this son of Blue Point for 250,000gns to Jason Kelly Bloodstock.

"He is a lovely horse, I have loved him all year," reported Grant. "We have had lots of interest here, lots of vets, and I thought he might get to the same sort of figure as last night, I am thrilled with this price."

Last year Grant sold Bradsell, winner of the Coventry Stakes (G2), and he said: "This is a very similar horse, his work is very similar at home and when Bradsell breezed he was not the fastest horse in the sale either. This fella is big, but very good actioned, and very balanced and I think he could be very good."

When he bought the colt as a yearling for €75,000, Grant recalls the colt's good walk really catching his eye, but he added: "We thought that Blue Point could do well and he has made a great start with his early runners."

Buyer Jason Kelly said: "Blue Point is a very smart stallion, this colt is a three-parts to a black-type placed horse and so there is plenty on the dam's side and hopefully Blue Point is as good as he has shown early on. This colt has been bought for a good friend of mine in Frank Gillespie, he has had some luck before so hopefully we can have a bit more luck with this horse. He goes into training with David O'Meara."

Of immediate plans, Kelly added: "He is a big horse, he breezed nicely , we will get him back and see, we have not immediate plan. We liked how he sustained his gallop and galloped out well out at the end, it was tough going at the breeze but for a big horse like him he got through it well." (18:38)

Lot 102: first in the ring this evening makes 170,000gns, sold by Donovan Bloodstock having been bought as a yearling for 40,000gns at Tattersalls October Book 2 by Adam Potts and Danny Donovan. It is the biggest sale result achieved at Tattersalls to date by Donovan Bloodstock.

The daughter of Acclamation, who was bought by Blandford Bloodstock, is out of a winning Holy Roman Emperor half-sister to the Richmond Stakes (G2) winner Ivawood, also runner-up in the Middle Park Stakes (G1) and third in the 2,000 Guineas.

Third dam is the Prix de l'Opera (G1) winner Kinnaird, dam of the Royal Lodge Stakes (G2) winner Berkshire. (17:53)
