THE Gavin Cromwell-trained The Other Mozzie is one of the star lots in the Tattersalls Online February Sale which takes place next Tuesday and Wednesday.

With the addition of seven wildcards, the 137 lots catalogued includes 76 horses in and out of training, 22 broodmares, 16 yearlings, eight two-year-olds, four stores, and breeding rights to Aclaim, Ardad, Harry Angel and Kameko.

The Gavin Cromwell-trained six-year-old won his latest start in a handicap chase at Naas on January 5th, his 11-length victory earning an IHRB rating of 138 over fences. The Other Mozzie is also a winner over hurdles and is likely to be given Cheltenham Festival entries by his trainer.

Another in-form offering is the Hugo Merienne-trained Never Risk, successful in last month’s Prix Rene Cramail worth €110,000. Ciaran Murphy’s Irish Grand National third Enjoy D’Allen is another late entry.

The 11-year-old is owned by J.P. McManus, as is Shajak, a winner over hurdles for trainer Gordon Elliott. The son of Zarak has also tasted success on the flat where he can boast a third-place finish in the Listed Vinnie Roe Stakes.
