COOLMORE Stud has published the 2016 fees for its National Hunt roster and they signal confidence in the sector with a rise in price for six of the 14 stallions and no change in the others.

Flemensfirth remains top of the list at Beeches Stud with a fee of €10,000. Yeats has leapfrogged Milan into second place with a €1,500 jump to €7,500. Fame And Glory, whose first crop were yearlings this year, sees his fee jump by €2,000 to €7,000. There were also €500 hikes for Getaway, Ocovango, Milan, Ask and Westerner.
