Hi
Lend A Hand is now at stud in Italy.
Fraam's a OK sire, and his two best progeny, Lady Lahar (Mujadil) and Majestic Desert (Night Shift), are both out of Northern Dancer line mares, as is your mare.
However I feel £4,000 stud fee is a bit steep for a stallion who is entering into his 10th year at stud, and has only sired 2 stakes winners. But he does gat winners.
Be carefull when looking at his sales sats, as his highest priced yearling, was only really expensive as she was half sister to Flasy Wings (it wasn't really because of her sire).
Anyway hope that helps
