CHAPEL Stud is home to Group 1 winner Trueshan’s sire Planteur (Danehill Dancer), the Group 2 winner and impeccably-bred Bangkok (Australia) whose first foals are arriving, and they were joined last year by a stallion who is already siring winners.

Walzertakt (Montjeu) was acquired to stand there as a new National Hunt sire in 2022. A high-class stayer in France, he won the Group 2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil and the Group 3 Qatar Prix Gladiateur at Longchamp. He is a half-brother to the Group 1 winner Wiener Walzer (Dynaformer), and his dam Walzerkoenigin (Kingmambo) was champion older mare in Germany.
