An intriguing handicap with the vote in favour of French recruit ZERTAKT Boasting a progressive profile in France new connections went to €195,000 to acquire him last year and it’s feasible to think he can rate higher still now starting out for Venetia Williams. Mr Muldoon, who got firmly back on track at Chepstow, Mount Tempest and Oscar Thyne head up the dangers Midnight Ginger also demands a second look
