CHEVELEY Park Stud’s homebred filly Marenko (by Exceed And Excel) was already very valuable before this season began and the triple pattern-placed filly made it two from two in 2016 when winning the Group 3 Betfred TV Fred Darling Stakes over seven furlongs at Chelmsford on Saturday.

She is not currently engaged in the classics but she clearly has plenty of talent and, as a granddaughter of Russian Rhythm (by Kingmambo) there could be further improvement to come from her.
