Cagney is a two-year-old with work still to do. The horse has lined up twice so far without finding the frame, finishing fifth most recently and ninth before that.
Kevin Ryan's Hambleton yard is in excellent form this season—the trainer has sent out 45 winners already—but Cagney hasn't yet contributed to that tally. At this very early stage, there's little to hang your hat on, but the horse is still racing actively, which suggests Ryan sees potential worth developing. Two races in tells you almost nothing about a young horse's future, and another outing or two will tell you far more about whether this one has the makings of a decent performer.
