He boasts an official BHA rating of 85.

Gordon Elliott's Cullentra House Stables will offer O Connell Street (Lot 66), a dual-winning son of Fame And Glory  with an IHRB rating of 118 over fences. In his latest start, he placed third in a competitive handicap chase at Fairyhouse. 

Leading Babe (Lot 68) consigned by Robbie Clancy is sure to attract plenty of interest after winning her Maiden point-to-point at Turtulla on her latest start in good style. The 5-year-old daughter of Leading Light  is related to Tell Us More and Western Victory.

The top lot of the 2019 auction was the Warren Chase Stables consigned Fiesole (Lot 107). By the great Montjeu, the useful eight-time winner was knocked down to Oliver Murphy Racing for £35,000 ($45,979).

Lot 71, Strong Power, a 2-year-old winning son of leading sire Kodiac, offered by Godolphin was sold to Jack Stevenson for £27,000 ($35,470), to make him the second-highest priced lot of the 2019 sale. The colt is the second produced from the winning dam Soft Power and is closely related to champion older sprinter in Europe and 10-time winner Slade Power .
