Tweenhills is next in our popular series of virtual tours of Britain's most prestigious studs, produced in association with Great British Racing International to liven up lockdown.

David Redvers' operation in Gloucestershire is home to stallions Charm Spirit, Havana Gold, Hot Streak, Lightning Spear and Zoustar, and is the base of Sheikh Fahad and his family's Qatar Racing operation.

In the video, stud manager Pieter Van Zyl shows us the Group 1-winning sprinter Mabs Cross, a new addition to the farm this year.

Yearling manager Scott Marshall presents a Frankel colt out of Qatar Racing's Classic-winning mare Simple Verse, and Redvers himself showcases a Zoustar filly foal out of Stella Blue, making her a half-sister to the classy sprinter Sirius Prospect.

Assistant stud manager Ivo Thomas gives us the lowdown on exciting young sire Havana Gold, source of 13 stakes performers from his first three crops including Flying Five hero Havana Grey.

The videos have been posted on the GBRI Twitter account individually all week.

Thanks to all the team at Tweenhills for filming the videos while adhering to government rules on social isolation on the stud.

From Gloucestershire we head east to Newsells Park Stud in Hertfordshire for next week's videos, starting with a glimpse of the operation's golden goose Shastye.
