Coedana

Both wins arrived in the autumn of 2025, first at Southwell in September and then at Newcastle later that month, which suggests Coedana hit a real purple patch once conditions suited. On normal ground — not wet, not firm, just standard — the record reads two wins from four races, a 50% conversion rate that is genuinely striking. Half the time Coedana races on a decent surface, Coedana wins. That is not a coincidence; it is a preference worth paying attention to.

The training operation behind this horse is in strong shape. Edward Bethell is based at Middleham in North Yorkshire, one of British racing's most historic training centres, and his yard has sent out 62 winners already this season. That is a serious number — it tells you this is not a small outfit hoping for the odd result, but a professional team producing winners regularly and in volume.

Most of Coedana's races have come at Class 5 level, which sits in the lower-to-middle tier of British racing. One win from five races at that level — 20%, or roughly 1 in 5 — suggests it has not dominated the grade, which is fine. Winning races at any level takes doing, and Coedana has done it twice in quick succession. The last win came at Newcastle on 26 September 2025, now around seven months ago, so the yard will be eager to add to that tally. With good ground returning as the season warms up and a horse that has shown it knows how to win, the next chapter could come sooner rather than later.
