Jumby Set to Compete in Upcoming Handicap Race at Newmarket
Jumby, a seven-year-old horse, has shown impressive form recently and is expected to be a strong contender in the upcoming handicap race at Newmarket racecourse.
In his latest outing on 9th August 2025, Jumby finished second in the Moatwood Gin Handicap over 7 furlongs on good to firm ground, narrowly beaten by about 1 length[1][2][4][5]. This result follows a string of solid performances over the summer of 2025.
On 19th July at Doncaster, Jumby won a handicap by 1.75 lengths as the 11/4 favourite, ridden by Cieren Fallon[1]. A week earlier, he ran 4th in a handicap at Newmarket, finishing 2.75 lengths behind the winner, led by top jockey R L Moore[1]. In late July, he was 6th of 11 in a handicap at Wolverhampton, rated at 91[1]. Earlier in May, he was 9th out of 17 at Ascot, rated 100 with Charles Bishop aboard[1].
Despite being seven years old, Jumby's recent performances suggest he might still be a class above his competitors. He has a history of success, having been a former Group 2 winner, but has been racing mostly in handicaps recently with ratings around the high 80s to low 90s in 2025.
Racing expert Paul Kealy considers Jumby to be of high quality, including him in his top tips for the action on Saturday[10]. However, the specific race Jumby is participating in is not yet confirmed.

The race Jumby is participating in is an exclusive customer sign-up offer handicap race, offering free bets[1][2][3]. It is a 7f handicap race taking place at Newmarket racecourse, but it is not specified as a particular event or meeting, nor is it identified as a specific type of race (e.g., flat race, steeplechase). The race is also not confirmed to be broadcast by ITV cameras. It is unclear whether the race will be a day or night race.
In summary, Jumby is currently racing well at the 7-furlong handicap level, rated around 90, with a recent win and a close second. He performs best on good or good to firm turf and is ridden by capable jockeys such as Cieren Fallon and Charles Bishop. Jumby remains a credible contender in upcoming races at similar distances and conditions as shown by recent form. No specific confirmed entry for his next race beyond 9th August 2025 is available, but his consistent performances suggest he will be competitive if entered in similar handicap contests shortly after this date.
Due to his consistent performances in handicap races, Jumby, a seven-year-old horse, is expected to participate in the upcoming racing events, including the exclusive customer sign-up offer handicap race at Newmarket racecourse. This race, a 7f handicap, is yet to be confirmed but is anticipated to showcase his horse-racing abilities. With his recent win and a close second, Jumby looks set to compete fiercely in his upcoming races.
