Denis Hogan collects with another Godolphin cast-off as Mulzamm gets up late

Denis Hogan seems to have cornered the market on identifying value among Godolphin’s equine cast-offs, and he enhanced that impression as Mulzamm scored in the first division of the 7f handicap.

Royal Ascot-bound Sceptical is the in-form trainer’s poster boy for Sheikh Mohammed’s expendables, but Mulzamm has also excelled for him. Snared for £6,200 as a four-year-old by Sceptical’s owner James McAuley, who has leased him to the Dual Racing Syndicate, the son of Cape Cross had won twice at Dundalk since switching from McAuley’s own Meath base to Hogan’s care.

This time brought with a searing late run by Joe Doyle to thwart Above Us Only Sky by a short head, Mulzamm’s first success on turf took his earnings beyond the €20,000 mark.
