The horse has had a frustrating stretch recently, with no victories in the last six outings despite three placings in that run. Most tellingly, it hasn't won since Chelmsford on 30 October 2025—a lean 11 months without a win for a horse that had shown it could deliver regularly at this standard. Due Date was back in action just yesterday, finishing third, so the yard remain active and committed to finding the winning formula again.
Trained by Charlie Wallis at Ardleigh in Essex, Due Date typically races with jockey Rob Hornby in the saddle, though that partnership has yielded just 1 win from 10 races together, suggesting a better result might come with a change of rider. The yard itself has sent out 7 winners this season, showing it is still functioning at decent form, even if Due Date has not been among the recent winners. A return to Chelmsford, where the horse has enjoyed past success, might reignite its winning ways.
