Quiet Soul

Trained by Michael Herrington at Willoughton in Lincolnshire, Quiet Soul is part of a yard in decent form this season — Herrington's team has already sent out 33 winners, a solid return that suggests the trainer knows how to get horses ready. For a young horse still finding its feet, being in a yard with that kind of track record is encouraging. The recent form line reads 4-5-8-3-2 (most recent first), and those third and second-place finishes last time out suggest Quiet Soul is gradually working closer to the front. The horse was last out just a day ago and is clearly being kept active, which usually means the trainer sees something worth developing. At two years old, Quiet Soul has time on its side, and the pattern of improving placings rather than a string of mid-field defeats hints that the breakthrough win may not be far away.
