Winning trainer David Marnane was represented by his Bloodstock Agent brother Con and he said: "It's been a great week as I also sold Fleeting Moment, who won the July Cup, and She's Our Mark who won today at the Curragh."

"I bought this lad in Italy and sold him privately to Malih Lahej Al Basti. He has 28 horses in training in England but this is his first in Ireland.
