Judy Craymer has a dispersal of her racing and breeding stock, including broodmare Rock Chick Supremo (41) and her five-year-old Kayf Tara daughter Cher Tara (30).TS Equine also offers a yearling filly by Santiago out of a half-sister to dual Grand National hero Tiger Roll (11).

James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said: “It’s great to have a deep catalogue full of quality and interest once again. Our offer of risk-free consignment, where vendors only pay if they sell, looks to be making a big impact.

"There’s lots of quality in this catalogue, particularly some nice young jumpers from the Willie Mullins stable, while there’s also a good mix of broodmares, stores and proven horses in training. We’re also delighted to be handling the dispersal of Judy Craymer’s racing and breeding stock, which should draw plenty of attention when bidding begins at 9am next Thursday."
