Lawmans Blis

The ground matters here. On normal conditions, Lawmans Blis has won 3 of 11 races — that is 27%, or better than 1 in 4 — which is a genuinely strong number. Compare that to the overall record of 1 win in every 9 races and it becomes clear: when the ground is right, this is a different horse. Give it normal conditions and it becomes a legitimate contender rather than just a participant.

Recent form has been encouraging. The last six runs read 4-1-6-6-8-5, which includes a win at Catterick Bridge just three weeks ago — the most recent victory of the six in total. Catterick is a tight, turning track that suits certain horses down to the ground, and Lawmans Blis found the right opportunity there in May 2026. The yard is in decent nick too: Joey Ramsden has sent out five winners already this season, which suggests the horses in Newark are fit and ready.

George Wood is the jockey most associated with this horse, riding in 7 of its races together and winning once — roughly 1 in every 7 partnerships. That is a modest return, though the pair clearly have a working relationship, and with the horse raced as recently as yesterday and still clearly active, more chances together seem likely. At 8 years old, Lawmans Blis is no youngster, but it is still racing, still winning, and still placing regularly. Some horses at this level fade into the background. This one keeps turning up — and, every so often, keeps turning up first.
