Easy for Wellbeing

Wellbeing ran out an impressive winner of the John Smith’s Extra Smooth Handicap Hurdle, the opening race on 2006 Grand National Day, for trainer Philip Hobbs.

Formerly very useful on the level when with Henry Cecil, the 7-1 chance powered away from stablemate Noble Request (9-1) under Paddy Brennan on the run-in for an effortless nine-length success.
