As usual there is a good mixture of Greyhounds of all abilities, from race winners to complete novice puppies

There are 50 Greyhounds set to trial, the youngest of whom appears in the very first trial of the day. Stonepark Susie is a May 24 whelp out of Dromana Bucko x Ballyverry Sarah and unsurprisingly, doesn't have a mark on the card.

As is often the case with these Sales Auctions, there will likely be plenty of attention paid to the four Greyhounds trialling who have made their way over the Irish Sea with the famed "Droopys" prefix. 

Trial 11 will see two March 24 youngsters trialling, Droopys Tiffany and Droopys Floorish while the remaining two March 24 youngsters will appear in Trial 22, with Droopys Verdict up against Droopys Bafta.

Anything brought over by Sean Conway is always worth a second glance and he brings over a team of four. The pick of his bunch could prove to be Feeling The Love, a February 24 whelp who appears in Trial 19. He recently posted a video on his X account of his recent sprint trial at Shelbourne Park where he recorded 19.02 but after a slow start, recorded a 12.69 on the run for home which is a great run for a puppy, and Conway is really looking forward to this sale.

For those looking to buy a race winner,  July 23 whelp Mustang Rocket  has won his last two races in at Dundalk at S1 and S0 level with a best time of 21.15 to his name. He appears in Trial 2, while Romantic Romeo, a January 24 youngster won at Cork in an A8/10 contest in just his second start in 29.12, as did Brisbane, with the November 23 whelp overcoming a slow start to score at Waterford in 29.26. He goes in Trial 24
