The Poetry In Motion Syndicate, who a few years ago bought the Derby Consolation winner Dunkerque with a new career over jumps in mind, have been shopping in Denmark again. The Irish syndicate have just imported the five-year-old Chappel from Rikke Rohbach Bonde’s yard at Jægerspris.
Chappel shares his sire Appel Au Maitre (Starborough) with Dunkerque, and he has landed with trainer Gavin Cromwell with four wins to his name, three of them taken at Jägersro and one at Klampenborg. The bay gelding took his most recent win in the Malmö Vårhandicap in May, and his last start in Scandinavia brought a finish just outside the money in the SFK Jubileumslöpning (L) at the beginning of October.
Chappel is out of the High Chaparral mare Mara Chaparral, who has also produced the Mowerinaløb winner Intensity (Mingun) and the Opdrætningsløb winner Contiki (Strategic Prince).
He is – again just like Dunkerque – bred at Stutteri Hjortebo, and he took his four wins for Stald Guldborg and L.T. Racing.
