El Gavilan (6), meanwhile, a three-year-old gelding by Guignol, was second on his hurdles debut at Lyon Parilly for Noel George and Amanda Zetterholm.

The two foals being sold include Haras de Montaigu's brother (1) to the Auteuil Listed-placed Out Of Risk. The son of No Risk At All comes from the family of dual top-level winner Echoes In Rain. 

Haras de la Hetraie offers a Kapgarde colt (2) out of a Martaline mare who is a relation to a number of black-type winners and performers.
