With the Cheltenham Festival now just 22 days away attention is firmly focused on the big four days in March.
The latest Tattersalls Cheltenham Sale graduate to put his name in the running for success at the top level is last weekend’s Listed Sheila Bourke Novices' Hurdle winner TULLYHILL. After an impressive nine length success at Punchestown on Sunday, the son of Martaline, who is trained by Willie Mullins for owner Cheveley Park Stud, is now as short as 5/1 for the Festival’s opening race, the Grade 1 Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.
The gelding was purchased by Harold Kirk and Mullins for £220,000 at the Tattersalls Cheltenham November Sale 2022 from Colin McKeever’s Loughanmore Farm.
In the same ownership ENVOI ALLEN, a graduate of the Tattersalls Cheltenham February Sale 2018 when bought by Tom Malone from Colin Bowe’s Milestone Stables for £400,000, already has two Festival Grade 1 victories under his belt and eight Grade 1 wins in total. Connections are planning to send the gelding to Prestbury Park in March to defend his crown in the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase.
Envoi Allen won his maiden on his point-to-point debut at the 2018 Ballinaboola February meeting and Bowe will be hoping the lightening can strike again – he is set to offer the NO RISK AT ALL four-year-old gelding KORKORAN (Lot 26), a debut winner of the same race this year.
Sales horses are stabled in the Charles Turner Yard and will be available for viewing from 1.00 p.m. on Thursday, 22nd February.
