An exciting opportunity to lease a share in this promising six-year-old for some fun this 2026/27 season.
AGENT ARGYLLE (IRE)
2020 bay gelding by
Mahler out of Hattie Hopkinson
Agent Argylle is a six-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 shares to lease in this promising, athletic six-year-old with great hurdle and chase potential for the 2026/27 season.
Purchased at the Goffs Spring Sale in May 2025, he was recommended by bloodstock agent Gerry Hogan, having won a hotly contested point-to-point at Dawstown in Ireland on 5th May, 2025.
Following three hurdle runs gaining experience last season, Agent Argylle is at present enjoying a summer holiday in the paddock to allow him to mature further.
He will come back in to training at the beginning of August to start building up his fitness for an autumn campaign when he should be very competitive in two and half mile – three mile hurdle races. There are sure to be lots of fun days out at the races to look forward to.
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.
