Gimcrack Stakes winner Lake Forest tops high-class Tattersalls Autumn HIT Sale catalogue

Gimcrack Stakes winner Lake Forest headlines a high-class catalogue for the Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale next month.

With 1,750 lots to sell, the stage looks set again for buyers to make their way from abroad for the offerings. Aside from No Nay Never's Group 2-winning Lake Forest (lot 726), trainer William Haggas will also offer Acomb Stakes third Loose Cannon (727), a winner on debut. The dual Group-placed Seven Questions (1150), last seen finishing third in the Mill Reef Stakes, is another classy juvenile set to sell, this time by George Scott. 

Last year's Criterium International winner Proud And Regal (674) headlines the Coolmore draft, with the son of Galileo a three-time winner at two as well as second to Al Riffa in the National Stakes. Others from the team include the high-class multiple Group winner and Group 1-placed Point Lonsdale (673), 2022 Futurity Stakes scorer Aesop's Fables (667) and Broadhurst (668), a winner on Irish Champions Weekend.
