28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Proving reasonably consistent, having made the frame in most starts since winning a maiden event last September; a possible danger off current mark with Lewis Saunders taking off a bonus 5lb. |
13/2 |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Just 1-8 over hurdles but returned from break with creditable second behind in-form stablemate at Ffos Las (2m, good) last month and remains on a workable mark; respected. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner last year, latterly off 4lb higher, who's running in a 0-65 for the first time; finished last on his latest start but wasn't beaten far and Cieren Fallon (0-5 for the yard) is a positive booking; ought to fare better. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Effective on good to soft; most recent AW form is not overly inspiring but on a perfectly good mark and can go well when fresh. |
8/1 |

7th 9 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three AW wins last year, the latest over C&D in October and he's now back to that mark for the first time since; bits of encouragement since give him a place in calculations. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved upon her first three runs for half-length win at 11-2 on recent handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m2f, soft), beating four rivals; cost 290,000gns in 2024 and every chance that she will continue to progress. |
6/4 |

1st 2 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth of eight in a steadily run maiden at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in March seemed better than her turf starts either side; has changed hands since latest start (same trainer); market may guide on this handicap debut. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dam 1m6f winner; tailed off at Bath (1m, good to soft) in April but her Newbury performance (1m2f, good) four weeks later was much better, staying on again for sixth of 14 after a shortage of room over 1f out; dropped 2lb and 7lb claimer is enlisted; should be a big player if he goes on the ground. |
2/1 |
|
6th 13 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Showed some ability as 2yo, without being that competitive, but tailed off on reappearance in a 1m handicap at Bath (good to soft; 12-1) four weeks ago; dam French 1m6f winner. |
25/1 |
Betting Forcast
6/1 Caelan, 13/2 Bulldog Spirit, 6/1 Meet Me In Meraki, 7/4 Liveinthelight, 2/1 Grand Pier
Verdict
The 290,000gns yearling LIVEINTHELIGHT has found her level in handicaps and there should be more to come now she’s sent further. Grand Pier is closely matched with the selection on last month’s clash here. Caelan is third choice.[Alistair Jones]
