Mr Withington

9st 12lb

J: Rowan Scott

T: Ewan Whillans

Failed to go on after a good third at Newcastle (1m2f) last July, signing off for Paul Robson with a fading seventh of 11 in 1m4f handicap there last month; starts out for new yard here off a reduced mark and not without interest, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Maiden; ran a couple of fair races over 1m2f last year, notably a 2.5l third in a 1m2f handicap here; not done quite as well since and was tailed off in a Kelso novice hurdle nine days ago (not jump well); stamina to prove.

J: Cara Tuke

T: Iain Jardine

Three wins from his first four Flat starts in 2026, including one over C&D; that record demands respect but he pulled up 25 days ago (bled from the nose) and needs to bounce back from that; 7lb claimer takes over.

Three wins from four Flat starts in 2026 include a C&D success last week (had Sophiesticate two necks back in third); likely has more to offer at this kind of trip and could easily shrug off a 4lb penalty; yard took this last year.

Was having his second start for the yard and first since wind surgery when fifth of 11 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; 2lb lower than when winning at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last August and worth a second look, especially if backed.

Last three wins came over C&D; hit flat spot but rallied for third under these conditions last week; obvious claims of turning the tables on winner Gemini Man given she was beaten two necks and has a 4lb pull; 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh enlisted too.

Latest of his two wins was in 2021; runner-up over hurdles last May but very opposable on what he's done since; off 260 days before latest start when he was remote at 200-1; first-time headgear this evening.

Runner-up over hurdles last May but this 8yo has struggled to get competitive on his four starts since, one of those being on the Flat; races for the first time since last September and others make greater appeal.

Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here.

Just one win from his 22 starts and beaten 6l when fourth in first-time visor (retained) at Ayr (1m5f, soft) last Friday; however, that trip-and-ground combination may have stretched his stamina and two starts ago he was short-headed by Uncle Liam here (1m4f, good); he's not discounted.
