Ben Lawers

That single career win came at Dundalk in February 2026, and it remains the high point of the profile so far. Dundalk is an all-weather track that races year-round regardless of weather, and it suits horses who are consistent rather than spectacular — which fits Ben Lawers well enough. The distance was in the 1m1f to 1m2f range, and that band of trips is clearly where this horse is most at home. Over those distances, Ben Lawers has won 1 from 8 races — a 12% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 8, which is meaningfully better than its overall record and suggests the team knows where to place it to best effect.

The partnership with jockey Shane Foley is one of the more curious angles here. Foley is an experienced rider, yet in seven races together the pair have not managed a single win. That does not mean the combination is wrong, but it is the kind of stat that quietly accumulates into a question mark. Recent form makes for uncomfortable reading too — the last six results show finishes of 5th, 6th, 12th, 6th, 14th, and 7th, with the most recent run coming just yesterday. A horse that raced yesterday and finishes 7th of its field is a horse being kept busy, and trainer Simon Waugh's yard has sent out just one winner this season, so there is no great wave of momentum behind this one at present.

Ben Lawers is not a horse that is going to headline a big Saturday card. But it is a horse that competes, finds the right trip, and occasionally delivers — as that February win proved. Whether it can rediscover that form over the coming weeks is the real question.
