YOUNG National Hunt breeze-up horses, quality horses in training and many winning point-to-pointers are the main features of the Cheltenham November Sale, to be held after racing there on Friday, November 17th. This is the third Cheltenham November Sale to be conducted by Tattersalls Ireland, following agreement in July 2015 for the purchase of the bloodstock sales formerly conducted by Brightwells, the Leominster auctioneers who had been running the Ascot Sales since 2000. Several of the former Brightwells bloodstock staff are still involved, among them Richard Botterill, but now based at a new address in Newmarket.

Including some still unknown wild card entries, Tattersalls Ireland have a catalogue of about 48 lots for their Cheltenham November Sale.
