NEXT week Tattersalls Ireland will stage the Derby Sale and the May Sale, which have been brought together to make a three-day auction of National Hunt stores. The Derby Sale is on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by the one-day May Sale on Thursday.

This sale normally takes place at the end of June but has been postponed on a couple of occasions, firstly due to Covid-19 restrictions and then a July date was shelved when it became evident that overseas buyers could not easily attend.
