2026 Burnham Market Preview Show

Burnham Market has become Oliver Townend territory. A remarkable record here, a system that works, and Cooley Rosalent back again - it's a combination that's hard to look past. But it's never that simple here. This is a track that consistently produces top-level performances, and when horses run well at Burnham Market, it usually stands up against anything else in the calendar. Add in Banzai du Loir, an in-form Gemma Stevens yard, and the usual pre-Badminton question of who actually runs and how hard… and there's a bit more to it than it first looks. Highlights Oliver Townend's record, and why this run works so well for his horses Cooley Rosalent vs Banzai du Loir at the top of the field Why Burnham Market consistently produces strong four-star performances The depth in the field, including Gemma Stevens and a strong supporting cast Who runs, who doesn't, and what we really learn this close to Badminton Guests Catherine Austen, equestrian journalist and eventing analyst.
