The annual dispersal of Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown House Stud is set to be a highlight of the Tattersalls Online August Sale when it takes place on August 14-15. The full catalogue will be published on Thursday, August 8.
The dispersal comprises of eight lots and is headed by the Grade 1 winner Beacon Edge (Ire) (Doyen {Ire}), who was most recently seen finishing fourth in a Listed handicap hurdle at last week's Galway Festival. He gained his sole victory at the top level when winning the Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse in November 2021, while last season he showed he was still no back number at the age of 10 when filling the runner-up spot in the G2 Boyne Hurdle at Navan.
Another highlight of the draft is the winner of last month's Listed Midlands National Handicap Chase, Idas Boy (Ire) (Dubai Destination), along with fellow staying chasers Flanking Maneuver (Ire) (Beat Hollow {GB}) and Frontal Assault (Ire) (Presenting {GB}), who finished third and fourteenth, respectively, in last week's Galway Blazers Handicap Chase. Flanking Maneuver was Grade 2-placed as a novice for Noel Meade, while Frontal Assault produced one of his best efforts when finishing second in the 2022 Irish Grand National.
