Breeze-up sales season kicks into gear with Plus 10 action as well

The breeze-up sale season kicks into gear on Wednesday with breezes taking place prior to the Tattersalls Ireland Ascot Sale on Thursday.

Breeze-up sales have proven a rich source of talent in recent seasons, with Group 2 scorer Sands Of Mali having emerged from this auction 12 months ago.

Will this year's prospective buyers get a first glimpse of the next big thing being put through his or her paces on Wednesday afternoon?

Final thought

Bungle Inthejungle remains the only first-season sire to have supplied a winner this year, and he doubled his tally to two on Tuesday when Jungle Inthebungle justified 6-4 favouritism to win a 5f median auctions stakes on the Lingfield all-weather.

Could he make it a hat-trick of winners before any of the others field their first? His son Tarrzan, out of the useful Flat performer Susiescot, is entered up for a median auction maiden at Dundalk on Friday, exactly a week after Jungle Jane got the sire of the mark by winning a hotly contested fillies maiden.
