Backwaters

Derham's yard has been in strong form this season, sending out 57 winners, which suggests the trainer has the skill and resources to develop horses effectively. Whether Backwaters will improve on his debut remains to be seen — plenty of horses take time to settle into racing and run better second time out. With only one race completed, there's little form to judge by, but the fact that he's back racing so soon shows his the yard are keeping him active and looking for opportunities to build experience.
