Candy maiden on comeback trail after four-year absence

The dust had barely settled on the London 2012 Olympics and Frankel was still dazzling the racing world the last time one runner at Beverley's Saturday meeting was seen on a racecourse.

Bridging a mammoth gap of nearly four years back to his only other start, Pedro Serrano returns in the 5f maiden in what rates as a remarkable display of patience by trainer Henry Candy and owners Six Too Many.

A grand total of 1,450 days has passed since the 42,000gns purchase finished a promising second on his debut in a 6f two-year-old maiden at Kempton in September 2012 and connections are understandably cautious about the now six-year-old gelding’s comeback.
