Yorton's David Futter said:  “We will have about fifteen horses. It’s a nice selection with two-year-olds already broken and ridden. Our proven method in France sees horses quickly head to the races and achieve success up to Auteuil. This season, Yorton horses had six Grade 1 horses, including three winners."

Auctav's general manager Arnaud Angeliaume added: "We are very pleased to unveil the catalogue. It reflects the demands of a discerning market with attractive pedigrees and physiques, as well as precocity through two-year-olds expected to race in the earliest three-year-old races in 2025.

"We are delighted Yorton has made the Auctav National Hunt Sale a stop on its Yorton on Tour, and we are also happy to further introduce this expert in French breeding and racing. We also have siblings of Graded horses, Morpheus, the stallion brother to Frankel, and new consignors whom we are happy to support. I hope that Haras de Bois Roussel will be a meeting point for buyers from all over Europe on September 20, as this catalogue is truly enticing."

The sale begins from 2pm local time and the catalogue can be found here.
