TATTERSALLS Cheltenham have published 39 initial entries for their first sale of the 2026/2027 NH season, which takes place after racing on Friday, November 13th.

Last year’s Tattersalls Cheltenham November Sale was topped by Dawn Of Light, who brought £370,000 from Mags O’Toole, who bought Tiger Roll at an earlier renewal.

Patrick Turley sold one of the sale’s most recent Grade 1 winners, Handstands, and has entered the Jet Away four-year-old I Told Him That next week. The half-brother to dual Grade 3 winner Our Power won his second start last month, drawing four and a half lengths clear at Loughanmore.

Ger Quinn’s Caherty Stables offers another Loughanmore winner in Wee Anna. By Milan and out of an own-sister to Ballyburn, the £58,000 store buy justified even-money favouritism by seven lengths clear on debut.

Menelas Colombe is another bred to be special and the half-brother to Gerri Colombe lived up to expectations when winning a four-year-old maiden at Loughrea on debut. Ridden and trained by Derek O’Connor, the bay was bought by Paul Holden as a store for €150,000.

Robert Tector’s Coolbawn Stables offers another two promising four-year-old maiden winners, including the El Salvador gelding El Jacko, who finished third in a competitive maiden on debut and improved to win at Curraghmore on return.

Loughrea winner Bonnie Long Legs, a half-sister to Grade 2 winner El Bandit, is one of three four-year-old debut maiden winners from Gary Murphy’s Cudgley Stables. The Bathyrhon gelding Louilood made virtually all to score by two and three-quarter lengths at Portrush, while the Soldier Of Fortune gelding Secret Dispatch justified favouritism by four lengths at Peppards Castle, where the front pair finished 12 lengths clear of the third.

Bumper winners

One of the most exciting offerings to have run under rules hails from the yard of Colm Ryan, who sold Charismatic Kid for £300,000 in this ring last December. The similarly named Klassical Kid made a perfect start at Cork last month, winning a two-mile-and-three-furlong bumper by two and three-quarter lengths. A subsequent winner chased him home, with a previous winner in third.

The Blue Bresil gelding will be joined by stablemate Linger On, a four-year-old daughter of Crystal Ocean who chased home two point-to-point winners in a mares’ bumper on debut at Limerick, beaten two and a quarter lengths.

Andy Slattery has entered two winners, led by the impressive debut winner Socrates Smiled, who obliged as the well-backed 5/6 favourite by seven lengths in a mares’ bumper at Wexford. The trainer’s Affinisea gelding Call My Name won a Kilbeggan bumper by a similar margin on his second start.

Don Cantillon’s four-year-old Always Proud was well-supported on his seasonal return and second career starts at Newcastle recently, and showed a game attitude to deny a more experienced rival on the line.

There should be more to come from Liz Doyle’s Manu Reva following his debut win in a Punchestown bumper. The penny only dropped late on for the Great Pretender four-year-old, as he finished well to beat one of the market leaders on the line, with a previous winner in third.

Further lots will be added after this weekend’s point-to-points, with the final catalogue published online on Monday, November 9th.
