A fee of €20,000 has been set for the three-year-old, who complemented his victories in last year's Phoenix and National Stakes with wins in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St. James's Palace Stakes this season.

Christy Grassick, manager of Coolmore, said in a release: "Mastercraftsman was a top class racehorse winning four Group 1 races at 6f, 7f and 1m. He's a European Champion two-year-old by Britain and Ireland's champion sire elect Danehill Dancer and comes from the family of champion sires Capote and Broad Brush. We think he offers outstanding value at €20,000."

Outstanding stayer Yeats will start his second career at a fee of €10,000 while Arlington Million hero Powerscourt transfers to Ireland from Kentucky following the emergence of Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Termagant from his first crop.

Powerscourt and High Chaparral are the only stallions who have had their fees increased for 2010. The former was available to breeders during the past season at Ashford Stud for $7,500, which is approximately €5,000.

During the past northern hemisphere season, High Chaparral has been represented by nine stakes winners and two Group 1 winners in Australasia. Consequently, the son of Sadler's Wells has had his fee increased from €10,000 to €15,000.

Coolmore's leading trio Danehill Dancer, Galileo and Montjeu remain private for the 2010 season. Another 12 stallions have had their fees reduced.

One Cool Cat has been sold to stand in South Korea.
