Tom Weston at Uttoxeter — Record, Stats & Runners

Tom Weston’s approach to Uttoxeter is characterised by thoughtful placement, often targeting handicap races, particularly chases and staying hurdles, where his horses can utilise their stamina and jumping prowess. He frequently sends out horses that have shown previous form at the track or those who appreciate testing conditions. The undulating nature of Uttoxeter, with its stiff finish, demands sound jumping and staying power, traits often evident in Weston's runners. While his strike rate isn't that of a powerhouse yard, his winners are often well-backed and represent a solid return for punters. He's not a trainer to overlook when his horses are entered here, especially those dropping slightly in class or with previous positive course experience.

He tends to run horses throughout the year, but with a slight preference for softer ground, which is common at Uttoxeter during the winter months. Keep an eye on his runners making their second or third start after a break, as these are often primed for a strong showing. First-time out horses from his yard here can sometimes need the run, but they are not to be dismissed if the market speaks positively.
