Another 14 select entries have been taken for the Tattersalls Cheltenham Festival Sale, bringing the catalogue to 30 for when the action begins after racing on Thursday.

The additional intake follows a busy weekend of point-to-point action in Ireland and Britain, with some winning four-year-olds entering the equation.

Cormac Doyle of Monbeg Stables was flying at Lingstown on Sunday with a double and will be offering a pair of four-year-olds by the exciting young French sire Goliath Du Berlais.

Palinca, a half-sister to the Listed chase winner Shokdor, was an impressive ten-length winner of the four-year-old mares’ maiden, while Monster Truck took the geldings’ event by two and a half lengths. Both were purchased as stores at the Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale.

Another four-year-old winner at Lingstown was Thomas Byrne’s Got To Be Real, who came ten lengths clear himself. He is by Getaway out of the prolific black-type mare Miss Crick.

Over at Castlelands, the four-year-old mares’ maiden was won by the well-bred True To My Word (by Poet’s Word) for handler Garrett Murphy, who recently sold Catchem Black at the Tattersalls Cheltenham February Sale for £240,000. Soleretta, who fell when leading at the last in the same race, is being offered by Denis Murphy’s Ballyboy Stables.

Other Castlelands winners catalogued are the Donnchadh Doyle-trained four-year-old by Getaway, Koaly Play and Ocean Master (Crystal Ocean), who was successful in the five-year-old and six-year-old geldings’ maiden for handler Andrew Latta.

Micky Haller, trained by Josh Newman, won a bonus event at Charlton Horethorne over the weekend and will be another to take his chance in a catalogue which has already collected some exciting entries.
