Amongst the potential stars is the four-year-old LOPE DE VEGA colt RAISE YOU, boasting a Timeform rating of 114, having run out a comfortable winner of the Listed Fairway Stakes last spring and more recently third in the Group 3 Rose Of Lancaster Stakes in August. Other eyecatchers include BOITRON, an impressive winner of the Listed Washington Singer Stakes as a two-year-old for Richard Hannon, and POWER LINK, a rapidly improving four-year-old consigned by Jamesfield Stables.

Commenting on the 2020 Tattersalls February Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said;

“The Tattersalls February Sale continues to be a source of high-quality breeding stock and horses in training with the dam of last year’s multiple Group winning two-year-old A’ALI being a prime example as is DRAMATIC DEVICE, a 20,000 guineas purchase at last year’s February Sale, who subsequently sold for 220,000 guineas at the Autumn Horses in Training Sale. Along with the two-year-olds and yearlings on offer, this year’s February Sale looks certain to attract the usual diverse mix of domestic and international buyers who have made the Tattersalls February Sale such a consistently popular fixture.”

The Tattersalls February Sale starts immediately after the TBA Stallion Parade which begins at 11.00am on Thursday 30th January, whilst the second day will commence at 10.00am on Friday 31st January.
