Recent form suggests inconsistency rather than any clear trend. In its last six races, Volendam has finished second, fifth, second, 16th, first (the April win), and most recently 16th — the kind of scatter that makes it hard to predict what will show up on race day. When paired with jockey Jack Doughty, the partnership has produced better results: one win from five races together (20%), a marked improvement on the horse's overall record, suggesting they work well together.
Trainer E D Delany's yard at Laytown, County Meath, has had a quiet season with only five winners sent out so far, and Volendam hasn't been among the successes since that April breakthrough. The horse runs best over distances between one mile one furlong and one mile two furlongs, though even at those favoured distances it has managed just one win from 12 races (8%). Most tellingly, Volendam has raced nine times in the top Class 6 races without a win, which places it firmly at the lower end of the racing ladder and suggests it may be more competitive when stepped down in grade.
