Connections of Sunday's impressive winner Jonbon could receive a rapid return on investment as the brother to Douvan is among the 12 additional entries for the Goffs UK November P2P Sale at Yorton Farm in Wales.

Ridden by Goffs UK agent and point-to-point maestro Derek O'Connor, Jonbon landed the Tattersalls Ireland four-year-old maiden at Dromahane by 15 lengths for Ellmarie Holden, who will offer him through her Coolmeen Stables.

The trainer's father Paul Holden, along with Michael Shefflin, bought him at last year's Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale for €140,000 and, given his Walk In The Park sibling landed eight Grade 1s, he could be in serious demand.

In total, nine of the 12 supplementary entries are winners, completing a catalogue of 74 pointers and bumper horses.

Others to prove themselves this weekend ahead of a date on Thursday were Lisronagh winners Great Heart'Jac, Jim Key, Gordyny, Gracchus De Balme andPowerful Position

Meanwhile Prime Pretender struck for Paul Cashman at Knockmullen House on Sunday, Rock On Rita won on her debut for Ian Power on the Dromahane card and Wheres Maude Gone was an eight-length winner of her debut bumper for Sam Curling at Thurles last week.

The sale, which is heavily restricted on numbers, begins at 12 noon. Goffs recommend that buyers inspect the horses on Wednesday and bid from home via live internet bidding through its online platform.
