Place / No / Draw	Date / Going / Distance / Class	Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer	Verdict	Starting price
4th 2 (15)	5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2	16:40 Epsom Popmaster 9st 9lb J: Kieran Shoemark T: Ed Walker	Seven wins include three on good to soft/soft; also won on AW at Kempton (1m) in February but only midfield in valuable events at Newcastle (AW) and Ascot (good) on his last two starts; however, latter effort was better than it looks having been poorly drawn.	28/1
15th 7 (2)	9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2	14:20 Ascot Popmaster 9st 7lb J: P J McDonald T: Ed Walker	Campaigned on AW since December, proving consistent until coming up a tad short on finals day last time; has loads of Ascot form but three defeats in this race (finishing positions 074) suggest he can be opposed, especially now aged eight.	40/1
7th 4 (2)	3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2	15:00 Newcastle (AW) Popmaster 9st 2lb J: Ashley Lewis T: Ed Walker	Arrives in fine form, beating The Lost King at Kempton in February and runner-up on his two runs since; sneaking back up the weights and he was only fifth in this race 12 months ago off today's mark.	40/1
2nd 1 (2)	27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2	16:53 Lingfield (AW) Popmaster 9st 12lb J: Ashley Lewis T: Ed Walker	Still useful aged eight and ran creditably (dropped back to 7f) on Wednesday when bidding for a Kempton double, taking form figures this year to 3212; solid contender who may well remain competitive.	11/2
2nd 1 (2)	25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3	18:10 Kempton (AW) Popmaster 9st 11lb J: Billy Loughnane T: Ed Walker	Signalled his turn was near when going down by a neck over C&D in January and turned the tables on his conqueror when scoring over a furlong further here three weeks ago (well ridden; Nikovo back in third); solid claims up 3lb.	11/10F
