Less than a month after spending £300,000 on the top lot at the previous Tattersalls Ireland Cheltenham Sale, bloodstock agent Mags O'Toole did it again at the same venue on Friday evening by spending £305,000 on point-to-point winner Cool Getaway.

O'Toole never discloses her clients but regularly acts at these sales for Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown House Stud. Last April at Aintree she paid £335,000 for winning pointer Samcro, now trained by Gordon Elliott for Gigginstown. Last month at this venue O'Toole stood alongside Elliott as another pointer, Poli Roi, was knocked down to her for £300,000.

Trained by Steven Crawford, Cool Getaway made a winning debut in a point-to-point at Tattersalls Farm in Co Meath on November 20th.

Later in the session O'Toole and trainer Noel Meade jointly signed for two-time French winner Dis Donc. The purchase price for the three-year-old was £125,000.

O'Toole then gave £115,000 for Coeur De Beauchene, runner-up in a Kirkistown point-to-point two weeks ago for trainer Brian Hamilton. Gordon Elliott looks set to train this one. Last Sunday's Ballindenisk winner Empire Burleque was yet another O'Toole purchase, selling for £92,000 out of Paul Power's yard.

Just moments after the top-priced lot had been sold, the runner-up in that Tattersalls Farm point-to-point, King Of Kilmeague (by King's Theatre), was bought out of Denis Murphy's yard by Kieran McManus for £150,000. McManus also signed for the mare Rosie McQueen, a daughter of Milan who won at Boulta a fortnight ago for Colin Bowe, for £95,000.

Could David Pipe have snapped up the 2017 Triumph Hurdle winner in Poker Play? This three-year-old gelding, an impressive winner at Enghien three weeks ago, was sold to Pipe and agent Hubert Barbe for £280,000.

For £160,000, Pipe also got his hands on the four-year-old Max Do Brazil, a gelding with smart form at Auteuil and Enghien.

That one was trained by Arnaud Chaille Chaille, as was Polidam, a five-time winning Trempolino gelding who was sold to Highflyer Bloodstock for £145,000.

Aiden Murphy purchased recent Dromahane winner Robbin'hannon for £110,000. The Robin Des Champs gelding was trained to win at Dromahane by James King and ridden by his brother Johnny.

The breeze-up section was topped by Cap St Vincent, a French-bred son of Muhtathir consigned by Johnny Collins' Brown Island Stables. Agent Tom Malone bought this one for £105,000.

Aiden Murphy gave £95,000 for a Kayf Tara gelding and Kieran McManus paid £78,000 for Springbok Seia, a son of Saddler Maker consigned by Glebe House Stud.

Overall 43 horses were sold on the night for a total of £3.14 million. The average price was £73,035 and the median £50,000.
