Monmore Race 4 - Ladbrokes Winter Derby 2026 - Heat 4
NO BETTER FEELIN (3) has a strong overall record having 16 wins and 25 places from 54 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (29.12) over 480m at Newcastle. Tends to go well on this trap. Has the ability and expected to prove tough to beat again. UNANIMOUS LEON (1) is having his first start around this course. Last start winner (28.32) at Monmore off this same draw. Has definite claims. NAOCHRA (4) is having his first start around this course. Last start placegetter off this draw when third (28.61) at Monmore. Can measure up. COPPICE FERRY (5) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Good effort to score last start by 3.5 lengths over 480m at Dunstall Park in 28.28, beating Butlers Lane. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Winner two starts back at Nottingham when scoring by 4 lengths in 28.60. Last start finished 4th over 480m at Newcastle beaten 1.5 lengths (29.12) behind Ballymac Sargie in a IV on December 27. Better than that and worth following up.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Newcastle then finished third at his latest appearance in a OR at Monmore over 480m (28.61). Key runner based on recent form.
