Download The Fairplay App Now "Confined" Handicap (For Horses Which Have Not Won A Race In 2026)

Ex-German runner who is another to have contested a Derby, in his case when beaten less than 10l in the Hamburg version in July; nowhere near that form in two starts for Marco Botti (including once in cheekpieces) and similar story on both outings for this yard; gelding operation, handicap debut and a mark in freefall put him top of the market watchlist, though.

Won three times at 1m2f (good/good to firm) in her time with Mark Walford and Brian Toomey last year; encouraging start at 1m4f for this yard and first-time blinkers worked a little too well when a still-respectable fourth of 15 at Newbury (good) a fortnight ago; can do better wearing that aid for the second time.

Highly tried after winning Lingfield maiden (AW) in April last year and he bounced back from a swing at the Derby when going close at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) in July; that form would make him a handicap snip but it's been a real struggle since and blinkers are now reached for; only considered if the market warms to him.

Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out.

Three-time turf winner, including when just fending off OJ Lifestyle at Epsom (extended 1m, good; first-time visor) in July; following wind surgery he stuck at it from the rear when fifth over 1m2f (AW) last month and has run well over this trip previously; mark fine and he needs considering.
