High-Class Epic Hero Among Offerings at Ascot July Sale

Members from under the Godolphin umbrella should provide interest at Tattersalls Ascot's one-day July Sale on July 12.

Around 100 horses are set to go through the ring from 11:00 a.m. (local time) and six have been cataloged from various parts of the powerhouse operation including Epic Hero  (Lot 70), who was last seen finishing fourth to Lord North  in the 2021 Dubai Turf Sponsored By DP World (G1) for Abdullah Menahi and the Crisford stable.

Last year's Bet365 Cambridgeshire Handicap winner Bedouin's Story  has been withdrawn from the event but unraced 3-year-olds High Renaissance (Lot 67), a Farhh  sibling to the Jebel Hatta Sponsored By Emirates Airline (G1) winner Blair House  out of a sister to Poet's Voice  and Alentar (Lot 68), by Teofilo , from the close family of Lazuli , are a few more that buyers might take a chance on.

Recent wildcards include the 3-year-old Aclaim  gelding Resilience (Lot 55), who has been in fine form for Tony Carroll this year, winning four times from 10 trips to the post. 

Laura Horsfall is offering Jack The Savage (Lot 89), a 5-year-old gelding by Passing Glance  who stayed on well to win a Worcester bumper at the first time of asking only a few days ago.

Last staged in 2019, the sale has drawn a mixed horses-in-training offerings from flat trainers such as Archie Watson and Andrew Balding.
