AUSTRALIA, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and Bahrain are among the destinations that some of Wednesday's top lots are heading to from the Tattersalls Horses in Training Sale.

Agent Guy Mulcaster was particularly busy on behalf of Australian trainer Chris Waller. They snapped up Brimham Rocks from Ralph Beckett's yard for 340,000gns, following a head-to-head battle between Mulcaster and Alistair Donald.

Mulcaster said: "We had identified this horse on his form earlier this summer - it's been a struggle this week, so it's good to buy one. We'll ship him down, get him into the system and acclimatise him. We'll take it step by step and see how he gets on - there will not be any big targets."

Bids came from all around the ring for the Tom Dascombe-trained Group 2 runner-up Frozen Angel, but it was former Hong Kong trainer Sean Woods who was successful at 325,000gns.

The colt by Dark Angel has packed plenty into his first season on the racecourse - after winning on his second start in May, he finished second to Havana Grey in the Listed National Stakes, fourth in the Norfolk Stakes, second in the Prix Robert Papin to Unfortunately, fifth in the Phoenix Stakes before finishing eighth and 10th in the Gimcrack Stakes and Middle Park.

He is from the prolific winning family of the French champion mare Pipalong.

Prince Faisal Bin Khalid won the King's Cup in Saudi Arabia this spring with Barefoot Dancer, bought from Michael Bell's Fitzroy Stables at the Autumn Horses In Training Sale in 2015 for 65,000ngns, and the owner, keen to retain the race in 2018, added to his string with Alwahsh, a likely sort for the big race.

The son of Dubawi cost new connections 260,000gns, Guy Mulcaster the underbidder, and was the first in from today's Shadwell draft.

"He is a beautiful horse, what more is there to say! " said agent Ted Voute initially before adding that the horse has good form over 10 furlongs and is rated over 85, the required level of ability that horses need to attain to ship to Saudi.

STALLION DUTIES

The dual juvenile Group 2 winner and Phoenix Stakes runner-up Kool Kompany will be taking up stallion duties in Spain, bought by Dominick Mahony, signing as Loughtown Stud.

The five-year-old son of Jeremy is heading to Felipe Hinojosa's Yeguada de Milagro Stud, based in the north of Spain, an hour and a half from San Sebastian. He joins Caradak and Pyros on the farm's roster.

"Felipe is thrilled, he didn't think he'd get him," said Mahony. "He picked him out really due to his race record, which includes some top juvenile form, but he also liked his conformation."

Kool Kompany cost 110,000gns, and was sold by Richard Hannon's East Everleigh Stables

The three-year-old Melting Dew (by Cacique) was bought by Rupert Pritchard-Gordon for 310,000gns from Juddmonte. Underbidders included Guy Mulcaster.

"He is a lovely, athletic horse, with size and scope," said Pritchard-Gordon. "He will be staying in England and will be targeted at the nice mile and a half heritage handicaps. He still has a little maturing to do and will do well over the winter."

Melting Dew, formerly trained by Sir Michael Stoute and rated 91, finished second in an Ascot heritage handicap in September.

The 300,000gns mark was also passed when Solomon's Bay, a three-year-old from the Roger Varian stable, went to RPG Bloodstock for 390,000gns, the highest price of the day. He will continue his career in Hong Kong.

A winner of three of his 10 starts, including a six-furlong contest at Kempton on his most recent outing, the son of Exceed And Excel won the Listed Surrey Stakes over seven at Epsom in June.
