Very early doors but the current leader is Killahana & McPherson with 9 points (Class 3, 4 & 5 winners) with Skelton on 8 points (Class 2 & 4 winners).
Not sure when the early Mullins forays will be made but you don’t want to get too far behind on points!

June 15, 2025 at 09:34 #1733065Be interesting to know the prize money comparison.
The more I know the less I understand.
June 15, 2025 at 10:31 #1733070Is Henderson running more summer horses then usual ? , maybe a sign that the quality in the yard isn’t quite what it was , Bowen still flying along , would really love Murphy to get one really good horse , talented trainer
June 15, 2025 at 18:14 #1733108Just a quick correction on the above;
1st Skelton 61 points £172,952
2nd Murphy 49 points £128,442
3rd Owen 42 points £121,237
4th Bowen 40 points £115,249
5th Nicholls 33 points £81,216
6th Henderson 33 points £73,993
7th O’Brien 31 points £87,615
8th Snowden 30 points £77,749
9th King 23 points £81,411
10th Lacey 23 points £46,928Tom Lacey would only be 18th in the prize money table.
One of the reasons I’m doing this alternative table is to ensure differing prize money at different courses for the same Class of race is disregarded. A Class 5 race is a Class 5 whatever the prize money.
