Coedana

Trained by Edward Bethell at Middleham in North Yorkshire, Coedana comes from a yard that has been in outstanding form, sending out 61 winners already this season. That is not a quiet backwater operation — Bethell's team is clearly in a rich vein of confidence, and horses from there are arriving at the track ready to perform.

Coedana got off the mark at Southwell back in September 2025, and since then the wins have kept coming. The most recent came just this week at Pontefract on 21 June 2026, meaning this horse races in the present tense — it is not a story about what once was, but about what is happening right now. Win 3 of your last 6, win again a matter of days ago, and you arrive at every subsequent race as a horse that demands attention.

One of the more telling details is how well Coedana performs on normal ground. In those conditions it has won 2 from 4 races — that is a 50% win rate, which is a remarkable figure at any level. When the track is playing as it should, this horse gives you a genuine chance. Most of its racing has come at Class 5, where it wins roughly 1 in every 5 races (1 from 5 at that level), but with the overall numbers trending so sharply upward, there is every reason to think the ceiling has not yet been found.

At four years old and with form this strong, Coedana is the sort of horse a knowledgeable observer watches closely — not because of flashy earnings or famous races, but because it keeps turning up and keeps delivering.
