The Goffs London Sale on Monday will offer the unusual opportunity for an owner to have their silks conferred upon a Wesley Ward-trained two-year-old at Royal Ascot next week, as Norfolk Stakes entry Maven is among the latest horses added to the catalogue.

The May-foaled colt scored at Aqueduct in April to become the first US winner for his sire, the Triple Crown laureate American Pharoah. That is his sole start to date.

Maven, who is out of Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Sprint winner Richies Party Girl, will go under the hammer as lot 22 at Kensington.

Other horses accepted into the sale include Le Don De Vie (lot 18), a three-year-old son of Leroidesanimaux who took a competitive handicap for Andrew Balding at Epsom on Derby Day, and four-year-old French Fifteen colt Sestilio Jet (lot 14), who landed the Group 3 Prix de Saint-Georges at Longchamp last month and followed up with an honourable second to Inns Of Court in the Group 2 Prix du Gros-Chene on his next start for Andrea Marcialis.

A pair of Michael O'Callaghan-trained two-year-olds have also been welcomed into the London Sale catalogue.

Isabeau, a Cable Bay filly who scored by clear water over the minimum trip at Down Royal last month and is going for the Queen Mary or Windsor Castle Stakes, is lot 20, while Red Epaulette, a son of Epaulette who won at Naas and has acquitted himself well in placed efforts back at the track, is lot 21. He is being aimed at the Windsor Castle.
