Offered from Jessica Harrington's Commonstown Racing Stables on behalf of owner Michael Buckley, the seven-year-old son of Milan captured the Grade A Aon Novice Chase at Punchestown, the most significant of his four career wins to date. A most consistent performer, he now moves to join Donald McCain's powerful yard. His dam was a prolific winner of seven races, all but one over fences.

The six-figure mark was passed a second time at the sale when Kieran McManus, acting for his father J.P., bid £105,000 for Aldopicgros, a commentator's nightmare, and this lot was sold by the hugely successful Million In Mind Partnership. The McManus clan will be hoping that the four-year-old French-bred son of Tirwanako can emulate another previous purchase from the vendors, Uxizandre, a Grade 1 winner at Aintree. Paul Nicholls trained Aldopicgros.
