Unbeaten Group winner Lazzat plus more Royal Ascot contenders added to Goffs London Sale

The unbeaten Lazzat, winner of all of his five starts including last weekend’s Group 3 Prix Paul de Moussac at Longchamp on his reappearance, as well as the Group 3 Prix Djebel, is among the latest four entries added to the Goffs London Sale.

The boutique auction, held in association with Privat 3 Money at Kensington Palace Gardens, takes place on Monday, on the eve of Royal Ascot.  

The Jerome Reynier trained three-year-old Lazzat, a gelded son of Territories owned by Nurlan Bizakov, holds an entry in the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville in August.

Also added to Monday’s catalogue are three Royal Ascot entrants. Johnny Murtagh’s three-time winner and Listed placed Asian Daze is being pointed towards the Sandringham Stakes, while Raw Ability from Eric McNamara, who won convincingly on his debut at Gowran Park ten days ago, goes for the Hampton Court Stakes. 

The Jessica Harrington trained Cruden looks a promising staying prospect, having won an 11-furlong maiden at Limerick going away on his last start, and he has the King George V Stakes on his agenda.

Sparkling Plenty, who has been declared for this weekend's Prix de Diane, was a previous addition to the line-up.

Owned and bred by Jean-Pierre-Joseph Dubois, the Kingman filly is already a Group 2 winner of the Prix de Sandringham this month. She is beautifully bred, being a sister to the 2022 Jersey Stakes winner and Group 1-placed Noble Truth, out of a sibling of the brilliant Stacelita.

There is also Rock Hunter, the National Stakes runner-up from the Amy Murphy stable, Michael O'Callaghan's Evening Saigon, and the Jessica Harrington Cork winner Rock N Roll Rocket.

Queues Likely, runner-up in the German 1,000 Guineas for Stan Moore, features along with the Dermot Weld-trained Taraj, who is likely to be aimed for the Hampton Court Stakes after being placed behind Los Angeles in the Leopardstown Derby Trial.

Airman (Palace of Holyroodhouse), Bergamasco (Britannia), Mina Rashid (King George V Stakes/Queen’s Vase), Take Me To Church (Jersey Stakes), Cool Dividend and General Assembly are also in the line-up, along with shares or breeding rights to purchase in Havana Grey, Galiway, Ardad and Phoenix Of Spain.
