THE annual Million In Mind Dispersal provided a major highlight of the horses-in-training section of the Goffs Summer Sale on Wednesday, and not for the first time. This occurred when the final lot in their six-horse draft entered the ring.

The Nicky Henderson-trained Grand Roi, a French-bred four-year-old son of Spanish Moon, topped the sale at £400,000. This was by some way the best price of the day and his price reflects the fact that he was a leading fancy for a Grade 1 hurdle at Aintree before the abandonment of that meeting. He is a bumper winner and unbeaten in two starts over hurdles.
