Recent form came to the fore on day two of the Tattersalls February Sale on Friday, with the concluding session of live online trade headed by Wolverhampton scorer Fayathaan, who is bound for Italy after drawing a bid of 85,000gns from Marco Bozzi.
Catalogue updates are generally a major asset at horses-in-training sales and the progressive three-year-old had enhanced his profile when registering a third career success at Wolverhampton just ten days before coming under the hammer.
Bozzi said: He s going to Italy to be trained in Milan by Mr Biondi and is for owner Mrs Roveda. This is a nice horse, we vetted him and he ticked all the boxes. He is a good peformer, a sharp horse and should suit seven furlongs or a mile in Italy.

Frankie Dettori returns to action on the opening night of the 2021 Dubai World Cup carnival with six rides including one-time Derby hope Military March.
Dettori, who turned 50 last month, flew out out for the carnival on Tuesday and is set to compete for the first time since finishing second on Global Giant in the Bahrain International Trophy in November.
The Italian jockey combines with Saeed bin Suroor and Godolphin for his five of his six rides, headlined by Military March, who finished fourth behind Kameko in last season’s 2,000 Guineas.
Unbeaten as a juvenile, Military March had Bin Suroor dreaming of Derby glory after his encouraging Guineas performance at Newmarket and had been as short as 5-1 for the Epsom Classic, but suffered an unfortunate setback in June.
