Siblings to L'Ami Serge, Monalee and Special Tiara up for auction

Among the standout pedigrees for the third foal session of the Tattersalls Ireland November National Hunt Sale on Wednesday is a trio of siblings to recent Grade 1 winners.

Stephen Kemble Bloodstock will present a filly (lot 810) from the first crop of Irish Derby hero Jack Hobbs.

The March foal has big shoes to fill as a half-sister to three black-type jumpers led by the exceptional hurdler L'Ami Serge, whose Grade 1 wins have come in the Tolworth Novices' Hurdle, Aintree Hurdle and the Grande Course de Haies d'Auteuil - the French equivalent of the Champion Hurdle.

The filly also shares her dam - the Listed Prix Wild Monarch Fillies Hurdle winner La Zingarella - with Sizing Codelco, the winner of a Grade B handicap chase at the 2017 Punchestown festival, and the Listed-placed novice hurdler Viens Chercher.

A regally bred pair of Walk In The Park colts are also set to come under the hammer, with Coolruss Stud consigning a February-foaled half-brother (853) to the ill-fated Special Tiara on behalf of Eclipse Bloodstock.

Special Tiara earned legions of fans as a two-mile chaser thanks to his front-running style and ran to a Racing Post Rating of 170 on three occasions, including his Queen Mother Champion Chase victory at the 2017 Cheltenham Festival.

The pair are out of Special Choice, an unraced half-sister to the Grade 3 chase scorer Royal Choice.

Completing the trio is Ballincurrig House Stud's Walk In The Park colt out of Tempest Belle (894), which makes him a half-brother to the Grade 1 novice chase winner Monalee.

The April foal boasts a page replete with black-type performers such as the Thyestes Chase scorer Be My Belle and the Lismullen Hurdle winner Rose Of Inchiquin, whose son Empire Of Dirt appears on the Troytown Handicap Chase roll of honour.

What is more, the colt's two-year-old full-brother realised €60,000 from Kevin Ross and Ben Case at the 2017 November Sale, while another full-sibling sold to Richard Frisby for €68,000 at last year's Goffs December Sale.
