The recent form reads 2-7, meaning a runner-up finish followed by a seventh. Dropping from second to seventh isn't ideal, but with only two races under its belt, it's hard to read too much into either result just yet. What's encouraging is that the runner-up finish shows Whernside can be competitive when conditions suit.
The horse is trained by Edward Bethell at Middleham in North Yorkshire, and the yard is clearly in fine fettle right now — 59 winners sent out already this season is the kind of number that tells you horses are leaving that yard fit, sharp, and ready to run. A trainer producing at that volume knows what he's doing, and having a young, unexposed three-year-old in a yard firing on all cylinders is no bad place to be. Whernside raced just one day ago, so things are moving quickly — and with the right run, a first win might not be far away.
