THE Trillium Place team continued in good heart this afternoon with a double at Lingfield, courtesy of Brenin Taran and Performing Pocket.
The former took the 5f claimer under a strong ride by Martin Lane. He benefited from the frantic early gallop and used his proven stamina to ground down his rivals, winning by a neck.
A delighted Simcock said: “Brenin Taran had been retired but didn’t settle into it so came back. He has had so many problems so it´s nice to win again with him.”
Later in the afternoon Performing Pocket opened his account in the 6f maiden. The son of Proud Citizen was having his first start for Simcock and ran out an easy winner at odds of 1/4 under jockey Jamie Spencer.

CAPE Savannah opened his account at the third time of asking when winning a nine furlong maiden at Wolverhampton this afternoon.
The son of Cape Cross was sent off the 11/4 second favourite, having finished a good third on his previous racecourse start.
He was always to the fore under Nicky Mackay and was kicked into the lead over three furlongs from the finish.
Cape Savannah soon put distance between himself and the opposition and went on to score by nearly five lengths.
Simcock said: “He´s got a great attitude for life and we will put him away now until the turf and see what mark the handicapper gives him.”
Later in the afternoon Prime Run made a very encouraging start to her racing career when second in the seven furlong maiden.
