Gordon Elliott's yard at Longwood has been firing on all cylinders this season with 210 winners, and Combs has benefited from that environment. His first win came at Tipperary on 24 April 2025, and he's added a second victory more recently at Kilbeggan on 3 September 2026—just three weeks ago. The gap between those wins suggests he takes time to build momentum, but when he clicks, he delivers.
What's most encouraging is his recent form over his last six races. After running tenth most recently, he's produced a sequence of consistent placings: a win, then ninth, sixth, fourth, and third. That third-place finish came hard on the heels of his Kilbeggan victory, showing he's bouncing back into races quickly and staying competitive. He raced just a day ago, so he's clearly an active runner in the yard's plans. For a 4-year-old who wins roughly one in every six races but places in half of them, Combs represents the kind of honest, workmanlike performer that forms the backbone of racing. He may not set the track alight, but he shows up, runs a race, and gives his the yard value.
