Sales promoter Brian Harrison has confirmed that there will be 53 entries in the catalogue for his auction at Sheffield on October 18.

He said: “They are nearly all young dogs; I think there are only a couple of two year olds. The ‘Droopys’ boys have entered some and I also have a new vendor.”

The catalogue will be available on this site from Thursday.

In the meantime, Harrison is bullish over recent Romford A1 winner Monkoya Tim (Shaneboy Lee-Mankoya Girl, Aug 13) who clocked 24.07 on Saturday.

He said: “He was sold at our Sittingbourne Sale for 1,550 guineas which has to be great value.”
