Bungle Bay

The seven-year-old is trained by James Evans at Kinnersley in Worcestershire, a yard that has sent out eight winners already this season. Joe Leavy is the regular partner in the saddle, and that combination has produced five of Bungle Bay's seven wins from 24 rides together — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5 races, which tells you these two have a real understanding. When Leavy is booked, it's worth paying attention.

Bungle Bay also has a clear preference for normal ground conditions, with all seven wins coming on a standard surface. That's 22% from 32 races on good ground — winning better than 1 in 5 — compared to nothing on wet or dry extremes. It's a horse that wants things just right, and at its favourite track, in its preferred conditions, it delivers.

The career has been spent almost entirely at Class 6, the entry level of British racing, winning 7 of 37 races at that tier. That's a 19% win rate — close to 1 in 5 — and it paints a clear picture of where Bungle Bay belongs and thrives. This isn't a horse chasing glory at the big festivals; it's a reliable, consistent performer at its own level, and there's genuine value in that.

There is one cloud, though. Bungle Bay hasn't won in its last six races, the most recent form reading 2-2-8-5-10-8, suggesting the spark has cooled since that last Wolverhampton win in October 2025. It raced just yesterday, so it's clearly still busy and active. But given what we know about this horse — that Wolverhampton is where it comes alive — the question is simple: when does it get back on that track, and does it find that magic again?
