Mr Whipped and River Wylde confirmed for Grech and Parkin dispersal

The four novice hurdlers to have won in Graded company for Mike Grech and Stuart Parkin - Claimantakinforgan, Constantine Bay, Mr Whipped and River Wylde - are all to be offered as part of the Grech and Parkin dispersal, which will be split between the Goffs UK Spring and August Sales this year.

The Spring Sale dispersal draft will feature 24 horses-in-training including the aforementioned quartet, along with five unraced three-year-olds, while the August Sale will feature seven two-year-olds, a yearling and a mare.

The Nicky Henderson-trained Mr Whipped won the Grade 2 Leamington Novices' Hurdle in January last year, and has performed with credit over fences taking fourth behind Lostintranslation in the Mildmay Novices' Chase at Aintree, while fellow Seven Barrows resident River Wylde is declared for a Listed handicap chase at Ayr on Friday.

Other horses to feature include the Paul Nicholls-trained Kupatana, who has won four of her eleven starts to date including her most recent appearance over fences where she won by 18 lengths.

Young hurdler Interconnected is another headline entry having run a close second to Emitom in a novice hurdle on his only start under rules. That form received a boost when the winner finished runner-up in the Grade 1 Doom Bar Sefton Novices' Hurdle at the Grand National festival.

Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby said: "The pink and black colours of the Grech and Parkin partnership horses have been a feature of the best National Hunt meetings in recent times as their horses have competed at the top.

"Mike Grech and Stuart Parkin's decision to disperse their entire operation offers a unique opportunity for National Hunt buyers to take advantage of their focused approach to buying the best.

"Goffs UK are delighted to have been appointed to handle the Grech and Parkin dispersal at the Doncaster Spring and August Sales, which are the ideal outlet for horses of this calibre.

"For as long as anyone can remember the Spring Sale has been the end of season venue for the best, and the Grech and Parkin dispersal will sit alongside the likes of Million In Mind in appealing to the biggest group of National Hunt buyers to assemble."

All lots will be offered without reserve and sold as they stand.
