All yearlings catalogued are eligible for the £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction S., as well as the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction S., held five weeks later. In addition, 88 fillies are registered for the Great British Bonus Scheme and are eligible to win up to £20,000 in bonus prize-money per qualifying race.

Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “It is a fitting tribute to the sale's ethos of precocious, well conformed yearlings that the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale and its predecessor the Tattersalls Ascot Yearling Sale have produced Royal Ascot 2-year-old winners for two consecutive years. The strength of last year's sale and the outstanding season enjoyed by its graduates to date has resulted in a catalogue of real quality and depth. We are also looking forward to the inaugural £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction S. which provides an additional incentive to buyers, alongside the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale's burgeoning reputation as a consistent source of top-class juvenile talent.”
