Listed bumper winner by Galileo added to Goffs UK Aintree Sale

Three editions of the Goffs UK Aintree Sale; three Grade 1 winners in Black Op, Samcro and Topofthegame; and three times the £300,000 milestone has been reached.

The auction which takes place after racing on the first day of the Grand National meeting each year has firmly established itself in the calendar of boutique jumps sales.

And there is plenty to attract buyers to this year's edition on Thursday as well, with the final 13 entries released by Goffs UK bringing the total number of pointers and form horses in the catalogue to 29.

Among the latest entries is (lot 16), a four-year-old Galileo colt who defeated the similarly well-bred Ebadali in the Listed bumper at Limerick on Sunday.

John Halley will offer the half-brother to Vanity Handicap scorer Byrama, whose other siblings include the Horris Hill Stakes winner Klammer and stakes performer The Warrior.

Six winning pointers have also been added into the mix, with Donnchadh Doyle's Monbeg Stables offering Vandemere (4), a four-year-old Jeremy gelding, and Grandads Cottage (15), a four-year-old son of Shantou, who completed a double for their handler in the opening two races at Portrush on Saturday.

Colin Bowe's Milestone Stables, meanwhile, will offer It Sure Is (5), a relation to Hatton's Grace Hurdle winner Voler La Vedette who won his Ballynoe maiden on Sunday, and Cill Anna (17), an Imperial Monarch filly who opened her account at Monksgrange on Sunday to give Bowe an across-the-card double.

Among the original entries are the Gordon Elliott-trained Grade 1 winners Don Poli and Outlander, both of whom hold entries to the Randox Health Grand National, and winning pointers including Minella Trump, Moore Clouds and Papa Tango Charly.
