LORD topped the Goffs UK October HIT & Yearling Sale 12 months ago, bringing £70,000 from Donald McCain after completing a hat-trick of wins for Olly Murphy, and went on to reward new connections with a listed hurdle win at Aintree before finishing second in the Scottish Triumph Hurdle.

Olly Murphy has seven lots catalogued in next week’s sale on Tuesday, October 20th, including Little Ledgend (Lot 48), who has won both his starts over fences by a combined 13 lengths, and the Mastercraftsman gelding Crafty Gael (Lot 46), successful on his last two starts over hurdles.
