Tattersalls Cheltenham has unveiled the highly anticipated catalogue for its Festival Sale, which will take place in the Prestbury Park winner's enclosure after racing on Thursday.

A total of 24 lots have been entered in the boutique action, which last year was topped by the £400,000 My Whirlwind, who was offered by Patrick Turley's Kingsfield Stud and went the way of Nicky Henderson.

Colin Bowe's Milestone Stables, responsible for producing rising star Envoi Allen, sends a quartet of winning four-year-old point-to-pointers to the sale.

They are: Chosen Port (Lot 4), a Well Chosen half-sister to the talented Burton Port who ran out a clear-cut winner of a Ballycahane maiden; eye-catching Lingstown scorer Gerri Colombe (11), a son of the much-missed Saddler Maker; the slick-jumping Amarillo Sky (15), a son of Westerner who won at Borris House; and 15-length Punchestown victor Bareback Jack (22), a son of the increasingly popular Getaway.

Denis Murphy of Ballyboy Stables, who used to train the exciting Harry Senior, also sends a noteworthy draft to the sale, with his six-strong offering including: the five-year-old Tucson Train (1), a Scorpion half-brother to On Tour who made a winning debut at Tinahely; four-year-old maiden winner Bring The Action (9), a son of Jet Away; and Greenrock Abbey (24), a four-year-old gelding by El Salvador who made a successful debut at Tyrella.

Monbeg Stables' Donnachadh Doyle, vendor of The Big Breakaway and The Worlds End, sends Killer Kane (21), an Oscar half-brother to Supreme Novices' Hurdle hero Go Native who made a winning start to his career at Ballycahane.
