The session topper, lot 1755 was the CELTIC SWING filly out of the Grade 3 winning AMERICAN CHANCE mare LASTING CHANCE. Consigned from agent Jamie Railton, the filly caught the eye of Middleham trainer Mark Johnston, although he was unable to match the efforts of the Irish trainer Eamonn Tyrrell. CELTIC SWING has been particularly well represented recently by the efforts of the Champion filly SIX PERFECTIONS and the smart Stakes winning two year old filly SLIP DANCE who is trained by Tyrrell at his Curragh base.
LOT 1755: CELTIC SWING - AMERICAN CHANCE
Purchased by Eamonn Tyrrell for 48,000 gns
Late in the evening, lot 1771, a filly by ROBELLINO out of the RUDIMENTARY
mare MOLLY BROWN became the second highest price of the day when

the two time winner and highly rated two year old BRIGHT MOLL. Consigned
from Rob Hughes' Lostford Manor Stud, the filly is set to join trainer
Richard Hannon at his East Everleigh Stables in Wiltshire.
