The Tattersalls Online March Sale contains the final dispersal of the late Peter Magnier's Brittas House Stud, with the well-bred dual Listed winner Innocent Air and Newbury stakes scorer We Are Ninety among those on offer.

The sale - which will be the third conducted on the company's online platform, on which Sweet Solera Stakes winner West End Girl was sold to Badgers Bloodstock for a record £420,000 last year - will see 33 lots offered, with the bidding process opening at midday today and closing at 12pm on Tuesday.

Brittas House Stud will offer six lots, including the Juddmonte-bred Innocent Air (Lot 1), who provided the mighty Galileo with his first ever stakes winner.

Out of The Minstrel mare Minskip, she is a half-sister to two black-type performers in Skipping and Minority and has produced four winners. She is in foal to the late Zoffany.

Also among the dispersal is Fillies' Trial Stakes winner We Are Ninety (4), by Thewayyouare and out of the Sadler's Wells mare Brigids Cross. The eight-year-old has a Calyx filly foal at foot and was covered by Arc hero Sottsass last month.

Zee Zee Gee (6), whose No Nay Never yearling filly is offered as the fifth lot, looks another who will be highly sought after. The unraced daughter of Galileo is out of Prix de l'Opera heroine Zee Zee Top and is therefore a half-sister to Pretty Polly and Prix Romanet winner Izzi Top plus Group 2 victress Jazzi Top.

The first foals by LM Stallions' Master Carpenter will also be offered, with GG Bloodstock & Racing offering two fillies out of Tethys (12), a daughter of Born To Sea, and the winning Dalakhani mare Crystal Swan (13).

Master Carpenter, who hails from the hugely influential family of French Oaks winner Rafha, struck over five furlongs on his debut before notching up Listed and Group 3 wins at Sandown and Chantilly at three. He was also third in the Group 2 Prix Eugene Adam and was Group 3-placed behind My Dream Boat and Cannock Chase as an older horse.

Other offerings to note include Starfield Stud's Listed-placed hurdler Fabianski (7), who is from the family of champion miler Observatory, and is currently carrying to new National Hunt recruit and St Leger hero Galileo Chrome.
