AGENT ARGYLLE (IRE)
2020 bay gelding by
Mahler out of Hattie Hopkinson
Agent Argylle is a five-year-old bay gelding by Royal Ascot winner Mahler who was Classic placed and Champion point-to-point sire in 2020/21/22, siring many winners over jumps.
His dam Hattie Hopkinson is a half-sister to Monbeg Dude, the winner of the 2012 Welsh Grand National and also placed in the Aintree Grand National. He earned £260,000 in prize money.
We are delighted to offer ninth shares in this hugely promising, athletic five-year-old with great hurdle and chase potential.
Purchased at the Goffs Spring Sale in May, he was recommended by bloodstock agent Gerry Hogan, having won a hotly contested point-to-point at Dawstown in Ireland on 5th May, 2025.
Agent Argylle is now back in work after a summer break that allowed him to strengthen and mature further. He will build up his fitness over the coming months with his initial race targets being bumpers at Cheltenham on 24th October and Ascot on 21st November 2025 and his long-term target being the Cheltenham Festival.
He was an impressive winner at Dawstown in May and is a lovely scopey
horse who will make a super jumper

Point-to-Point Ireland Review:
Agent Argylle who was previously seen in the Autumn when finishing fifth, put his experience to good use when running out a comfortable three length winner over Kapoutchino. This son of Mahler was given a patient ride and caught the eye when making smooth headway after the third last, he took up the running before the final fence where he made a slight mistake, he lost little in momentum and kept on strongly on the run-in for a comprehensive victory. His Dam is a half sister to Welsh Grand National winner Monbeg Dude and top hunter chaser Its On The Line. He looks a solid type that his capable of adding more winners to his tally.
