3:42 Yarmouth Tips

Has been running well in defeat and remains on a low mark. Should be back to make his presence felt again and is drawn well today.

Can be excused last two starts in better company and back down in class can bounce back . Has solid form at class 4 level winning twice and although is 3lb above last winning mark did it easily. Off the track for 255 days so fitness taken on trust but Oisin Murphy booked to ride today looks significant.

Was a winner for the second time in April last year and has finished either 2nd or 3rd in five of six races since. Holds an each-way chance.

A beaten favourite over a furlong further at Kempton when last seen at the beginning of February and this drop back to a mile and a quarter appeals.

This horse was quite a late foal and maybe needed time to mature to get the optimal trip, which is today's. It was not disgraced in a Class 2 on the grass last summer, and its best figures have been at the longer trip. So it does look like it can do better today, especially if it gets its own way.

We'll see if we can get a pre-National boost on SILVER GUNN here. He ran well fresh last season when finishing second at Windsor, and he's four pounds lighter now. His form has been a bit squiffy since then, but there's every chance he can get involved. A few younger opponents at shorter prices look like they'll need this outing to get to concert pitch.

Mc'Ted's official rating for today is 71. He's a horse who usually performs close to his mark when conditions are favorable. He prefers to run cautiously or in the middle of the pack (midfield). His greatest strength is his finishing stamina over distances of 1m 2f (like today's). On flat tracks like Yarmouth, he often produces a strong finish if his initial pace is good enough. Alice is Mc'Ted's regular jockey and knows him very well. She has won with him on multiple occasions. His 7-pound allowance is vital today to compensate for the weight and make him more competitive in this class. His form before the break was 1-1-1-4-0. He had an impressive run of three consecutive wins at the end of 2025 (Wolverhampton and Brighton).
