Dutch Kingdom had won in September and in October 2024 when he was beaten by a short head at Southwell on November 12^th.  Given three months rest he returned to Southwell on Friday and went to post unfancied at 14/1.  With an official rating of 90 on the all weather he carried top in this valuable handicap which was worth Stg. £8,000 to the winner.  Being patiently ridden for much of the 7f trip he got up in the shadow of the post to deny the 2/1 favourite.

We would like to congratulate owner, Harraton Court Stables and trainer Darryll Holland for the wonderful job he has done with this horse, now getting his seventh win.  Though the handicapper has increased his rating by 15 lbs in September 2024 more wins can be expected at his favourite all weather courses.
