A €57,000 colt by Kayf Tara, who went to agent Aiden Murphy, took centre stage on the opening session of the Goffs December National Hunt Sale, which was almost entirely given over to foals.

On a day when trade bettered the corresponding session from 2015, the session topping colt was sold by The Beeches Stud on behalf of Cora Greene and he hails from an impressive jumping dynasty.
