The two-year-old filly Next Episode (GB) (Kingman {GB}) will be offered by Ecurie des Monceaux as lot 200. Trained by Christophe Ferland, the bay filly was a debut winner in a six-furlong test on turf at Marseille-Borely Oct. 9 and followed up with a conditions score over the Deauville all-weather track Nov. 6. A daughter of the stakes-placed Nyarhini (GB) (Fantastic Light), Next Episode is a half-sister to listed winner Token of Love (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}), herself the dam of Listed Sir Henry Cecil S. winner Mighty Ulysses (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}). Nyarhini is a half-sister to G1 Coronation S. heroine Rebecca Sharp (GB) (Machiavellian), while the deeper female family includes Golden Horn (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}).
The listed-winning and Group 3-placed Mighty Blue (Fr) (Authorized {Ire}) will go through the ring as lot 150 from La Motteraye Consignment. The six-year-old, a half-sister to the stakes-winning Modern Eagle (Ger) (Montjeu {Ire}), is currently rated on 98.
