Having been outbid on the previous lot in the ring Monsieur Co, Anthony Bromley was back for more on the three-year-old DOUX PRETENDER and this time relegated Harold Kirk to the underbidder seat when offering €190,000. Trained by Fabrice Foucher, who counts Un De Sceaux as the many jumping stars to have started their career under his guidance, the son of Great Pretender won his only start on the flat, over the Classic trip at Nantes.

He is by a stallion we are very keen on, the sire of Ptit Zig among others, explained Bromley. I had not seen him before but he is a very attractive horse and he beat four previous winners in his bumper. He is for the same client as Charming Zen and we will take all our purchases home before we decide on training arrangements.
