Theresa Marnane's Givemethebeatboys (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}), a winner of the G3 Marble Hill S., and Tipperary winner Supersonic Man (GB) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) are two of the entries. The duo are trained by Jessica Harrington, with the latter also carrying Marnane silks.

Con Marnane said, “They're two fine, big, strong colts with real chances at Royal Ascot. Givemethebeatboys is very special, he is the second highest rated 2-year-old in Ireland with Timeform and he goes to the [G2] Coventry S. for which he's currently 10-1.

“Supersonic Man is an extremely powerful fast colt and is as tough as nails.  He has a great chance in either the Windsor Castle or the [G2] Norfolk S.

“We've sold two horses at the London Sale before, Forever In Dreams (Ire) (Dream Ahead) who went on to be second in the G1 Commonwealth Cup just days later, and the other was Real Appeal (Ger) (Sidestep {Aus}) who came out and won a Group 2 and Group 3. It's such a unique sale, and Goffs do a fantastic job in bringing in so many of the world's biggest buyers.”
