Another consistent performance by the 4-y-o filly, Gwyre, to finish second in the two mile Mares' Maiden Hurdle at Newcastle on the 20th January. Following a second place at Sedgefield and Market Rasen she deserves her turn in the winners enclosure in the near future.

Ridden by Richard McGrath, Gwyre tracked the leaders throughout and stayed on in the closing stages to finish second. However, she could not prevent the short priced odds on favourite, Diklars Oscar, from making all the running.
