Graded-placed Hugos New Horse headlines ThoroughBid June Sale entries

Horses from the yards of Paul Nicholls and Willie Mullins feature in next week's ThoroughBid June Sale, among them the former's Grade 3-placed hurdler Hugos New Horse.

The Coastal Path eight-year-old has seven wins to his name, including five over hurdles, and he was also third in a Grade 3 contest at Sandown to boot. 

Mullins, meanwhile, has entered Femme Magnifique, a bumper and hurdles winner who was second on debut over fences at Tramore last month, while Gordon Elliott offers a juvenile Elzaam colt called Inanutshell.

The catalogue also has four three-year-old National Hunt stores and unraced three-year-old Henny Of Wick whose dam is a half-sister to the dam of Stradivarius, as well as four wildcards, including promising bumper second Rodeo, consigned by Tom George.  

James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said: “Having the likes of Paul Nicholls and Willie Mullins regularly looking to use ThoroughBid is a big vote of confidence for online sales. Both of the horses from Ditcheat have some strong form in the book and should provide their new connections with exciting days at the races, while Willie’s is a good bumper and hurdles winner that looks to have lots of potential going over fences.  

“We’re also thrilled to have accepted four wildcards into this month’s sale. Lot 29, Rodeo, looks to be particularly exciting as Tom George consigns another promising bumper second as he did in our May Sale. On that occasion, L’Arme De Bonheur went the way of shrewd northern trainer Nick Alexander. We hope this consignment will be similarly popular."  

Bidding begins at 9am on Tuesday and the catalogue can be viewed here.
