Fairplay Daily Price Boosts "Confined" Handicap (For horses Which Have Not Won In 2026)

Third at Lingfield most recently, beaten four and a half lengths, and acts well on sharp tracks over today's sort of trip; generally consistent and the first-time visor is a new angle. Ranked fifth on our figures, though, and must step up to trouble the principals.

Mark is easing which is mildly encouraging, and the trip and going are familiar, but Lunario has been out of form for a long stretch — five consecutive defeats including two where never involved — and the form line gives little reason for optimism. Must be taken on trust.

Consistent at this level, handles course and distance comfortably, and is only 1lb above the last winning mark; acts on any ground and is a genuine threat. The quick turnaround — racing just three days ago — is the one note of caution.

Landed a course-and-distance success in recent form and the top course trainer is a significant positive; acts on a sound surface and the first-time blinkers may well sharpen the response. Last time at Brighton was a step back — beaten nine lengths over a longer trip — so returning to today's distance looks the right move.

Placed over 7f last time, beaten two lengths off a 2lb higher mark at Yarmouth, and is nicely below the last winning mark — the profile is appealing in a field of this nature; acts on good and AW and the first-time hood-and-tongue combination may help. Winless in recent starts remains the main caveat.
