Greer Hill

That sole win came at Worcester on 17 June 2026, just two weeks ago, and the horse ran again only yesterday, suggesting the team are keen to keep the momentum going while confidence is high. Worcester is a flat, galloping track that suits certain types, and breaking through for that first win can often unlock something in a horse — they learn what it feels like to lead, to be sent for home, and to win. Whether Greer Hill builds on that remains to be seen, but the timing of a quick return to the track is a signal that trainer Jennie Candlish believes the horse is in a good place right now.

Candlish, based at Basford in Staffordshire, has had a productive season — 64 winners sent out this term — which tells you this is a yard that knows how to get a horse ready to run well. When a trainer with that kind of firepower keeps a horse active, it is usually because they like what they are seeing at home. The recent form reads 5-1-8 in the last three completed races, which captures both the win and some inconsistency either side of it, so Greer Hill is clearly a horse that needs things to fall right on the day.

One area worth watching is how the horse performs when the level rises. Greer Hill has had three races at Class 4 — one rung below the very top level — without winning any of them. That is a small sample, but it does suggest the current win came in slightly easier company. For now, this is a horse on the up, trained by someone in form, and worth keeping an eye on over the weeks ahead.
