GIVEN that Goffs conducted the sale after racing at Newbury on Saturday, it was appropriate that a graduate of one of their sales should have won the feature on the card earlier in the day.

Previously successful in the Grade 2 Future Champion Novices’ Chase at Ayr, the seven-year-old Datsalrightgino, a German-bred son of It’s Gino (Perugino), took the honours in the Grade 3 Coral Gold Cup Chase, his third win over fences and his fifth in all. Bought as a store at the Goffs Land Rover Sale by Tom Malone and Jamie Snowden for €70,000, the winner has more than repaid the purchase price with some interest, amassing winnings of more than £220,000.
