Among the Godolphin draft are Group 2 Balanchine Stakes-placed Prussian and the Group 3 Sweet Solera Stakes winner Long Lashes, in foal to Ribchester and Earthlight respectively, as well as Classic winner Kazzia's daughter Kashira, carrying to Dark Angel.

Shadwell will offer Dubai Fashion, a dual Listed runner-up from the Height Of Fashion line and in foal to Blue Point while Cheveley Park Stud's smart winners Hooray and Finidaprest, both in foal to Ulysses, and Listed winner Tigrilla (Twilight Son) are other notables to be entered.

Other in-foal mares from high-profile families include Baroda Stud’s Roodica (New Bay), a half-sister to the Queen Anne Stakes winner Accidental Agent from the family of Mohaather and the Meon Valley Stud consigned Monzza (Bated Breath), a daughter of Group 1 winner Zee Zee Top.

High-class sprinter Make A Challenge, a five-time Listed winner and twice Group 2 placed for Denis Hogan, and Roger Varian’s Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes scorer Pierre Lapin are among the highlights of the horses in training.

Varian has also included progressive types Nagano and La Tihaty while George Boughey has catalogued last weekend's Woodcote winner Oscula.

Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony said: "The Tattersalls July Sale has an extraordinary record not only for producing high-class horses in training, but also broodmares of the very highest quality.

"To date in 2021 mares purchased from the July Sale have produced Group 1 and 2 winners in America, Australia, Dubai and Japan bought for as little as 8,000gns and headed by the outstanding Group 1 Australian Oaks winner Hungry Heart, whose dam Harlech was a 60,000gns purchase from Godolphin in 2016.

"This year’s Tattersalls July catalogue features the usual compelling combination of well bred fillies and in foal mares as well as high-class horses in training and significant consignments from Godolphin, Juddmonte Farms and Shadwell Estates, all of which look set to attract plenty of interest from domestic and international buyers alike."
