19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Unable to justify good market support when well beaten on final two starts last season (2m4f/2m3f) but got his act together when dropped back to 2m at Ffos Las (good to soft) last month, coming from behind to win stylishly by over 4l; 7lb higher in a stronger race here but might kick on again. |

5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Unable to justify solid market support on final two appearances last season (pulled up/beaten 38l) and has now been unplaced all seven hurdling starts; evidently thought capable of better, though, and it will be interesting to see whether his supporters wade in again; drops back in trip; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made all to open account over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers ten days ago, his 11th start over fences; drew nicely clear of the others with the runner-up that day and was only raised 3lb; could be hard to catch. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Can make mistakes but mainly consistent over fences for this yard; pulled up at Warwick after an error last time but 2m and ground that was likely faster than good were probably not ideal; that brought his record to 0-18 but he's not ruled out in first-time blinkers back up in trip. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Held up and was never that threatening when beaten just over 7l into fourth at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft); that's two pleasing enough runs since the visor went on and this 17-race maiden has each-way claims. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Went 3-3 here when returning from long absence to score over C&D in June; not at his best when beating only one in 2m2f handicap at Newton Abbot only run since but remains of interest returned to this track on the back of wind surgery. |
9/4 |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced and he's 2-2 over fences, at Southwell 40 days ago (about 3m1f) defying a 13lb rise and a 393-day absence with a narrow verdict; if he can back that up then a 3lb nudge shouldn't be beyond him. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over hurdles here in October 2024 and returned from seven-month break with wide-margin C&D (good) success on chasing debut last May; absent for another 13 months since and now 13lb higher but remains unexposed over fences and can evidently go well when fresh. |

29th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Held on gamely to win heavy-ground maiden at Carlisle (2m1f) in February but was soundly beaten in both handicaps since, the latter his seasonal/chase debut last month; reverts to hurdling with a point to prove. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Launched chasing career with two wins in the autumn (2m/2m3f. good to soft/good) and generally remained in good form until end of last season; looked a non-stayer over 2m7f on latest outing and now drops back in trip with usual cheekpieces refitted; recent 3lb drop gives him a decent chance. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Has done well since switched to this discipline (winning twice) and his blowouts have come in strong races, latterly in the 2m4f Greatwood Gold Cup here three weeks ago; more exposed than some in here and he's unraced past 2m5f, but can be competitive off this mark. |

Verdict
Although TEDLEY looked a stayer in the making at Ffos Las he should still have plenty to offer over a stiff 2m like today’s against opposition who have something to prove one way or another. Dominic’s Fault is worth a market check but Professor Klump looks likely to provide the biggest threat to Tedley, with Bobby’s Fortune having his first run on ground slower than good.[Emily Weber]
