Vidmiyr

The breakthrough came just this week, when Vidmiyr won at Lingfield Park on 19 May 2026. First wins matter — they confirm a horse has the ability to see a race out in front — and doing it at Lingfield, a track that suits horses with a certain tactical sharpness, is a decent way to open the account. The recent form makes for interesting reading too: reading back from that win, the sequence goes 1-3-2-4-3, which tells you this horse has been knocking on the door for a while. The one blip is a tenth-place finish earlier in the sequence, but everything either side of it suggests that was the exception rather than the rule.

Vidmiyr is trained by Jennie Candlish, who operates out of Basford in Staffordshire. Candlish has sent out 61 winners already this season, which is the kind of output that puts a yard firmly in the conversation among Britain's productive smaller operations. When a trainer is firing in winners at that rate, it tells you horses are arriving at the track fit, well-prepared, and ready to run — and that matters more than people often realise. Vidmiyr looks like a horse with a bit more to give, and it is in good hands to find out exactly how much.
