SADAFIYA duly delivered in the nursery at Lingfield last Friday and 24 hours later RED CADEAUX ran his heart out in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock, only to be worn down close home by John Gosden's Kansai Spirit, being beaten three parts of a length.
Ed said: "We were dropping Sadafiya back to five after she had won six furlongs at Wolverhampton, but she showed that she has the speed and won really well, though the handicapper thought so, too, as he put her up 6lb. She is only small, but she has a big heart.
"The official assessor also raised Red Cadeaux 3lb for Haydock. He was unlucky to bump into one up there, and we'll have to look for another one where the ground is on the easy side. There is a £25,000 handicap over the same trip on the Lancashire course on September 25."
