Cheveley Park Stud to unleash Cheltenham sale-topper Ballyadam
The £330,000 top lot declared for the bumper at Navan on Sunday
Cheveley Park Stud, the owners of last year's Cheltenham Festival-winning pair Envoi Allen and A Plus Tard, are set to unleash their latest high-profile purchase with Ballyadam declared for the Flower Hill INH Flat Race at Navan on Sunday ().
The five-year-old son of Fame And Glory ran out an impressive winner of his Portrush maiden for trainer Colin McKeever last October, the same contest won by Grade 1 star Finian's Oscar three years previously.
Ballyadam subsequently topped the Tattersalls Cheltenham November Sale when hammered down to Gordon Elliott for £330,000 the following month.
Set to be ridden by Jamie Codd, Ballyadam shares his page with Glory And Fortune, another son of the late Fame And Glory who struck in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham last January.
Fame And Glory, a son of Montjeu who died of a suspected heart attack during the 2017 covering season, has also sired the Goffs Land Rover Bumper and Leopardstown Grade 1 novice hurdle scorer Commander Of Fleet.
Cheveley Park Stud have made a splash in the National Hunt game in recent years, with the £400,000 Cheltenham top lot Envoi Allen having struck in the Champion Bumper at last year's Cheltenham Festival - the first of three Grade 1 wins of the son of Muhtathir - while A Plus Tard landed the Close Brothers Novices' Handicap Chase the previous day.
