Majestic Moment¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Bryan Carver| T: D Summersby| OR: 98| BF| CD

10/3

Won 3 times over fences, including over C&D in April. Progressive but unseated his rider early on here last time out and should bounce back for that and still appeals as being very well treated so he's a strong fancy to resume winning ways.

Form: 81411-U

Thistle Be The One^t⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: David Noonan| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 97WS

12/1

Useful bumper winner and runner-up in pair of novice hurdles in 2024/25 for Keiran Burke. Not pulled up any trees for this yard but is best excused last run when hampered and now makes chasing debut (last both starts in points) on the back of a breathing operation.

Form: 26/5P4P-

Footloose Man^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Price| T: R Hobson| OR: 84| C

6/1

Twice a winner over longer trip at this track in 2025 and should strip fitter for recent return from 5 months off. Goes without the hood this time but may ideally need a bit further than this nowadays.

Form: 41512-6

Lunar Ocean^b¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: G Sheehan| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 79| CD

11/10

Not the most trustworthy of performers but slipped the field when belatedly getting off the mark in handicap chase over C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago. First-time blinkers seemed to work the oracle that day and could go well if they have the same effect.

Form: 2524P-1

Gorcombe Moonshine^p³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Walford| OR: 77| BF| C

5/1

Sole win came at this track way back in 2023 but he has strung 3 creditable efforts together lately, encouragingly jumping a bit straighter than can sometimes be the case when fifth here last time. Probably needs a couple of these to falter, though.

Millies Mite^p,t¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: M Goldstein| T: K Jewell| OR: 71| CD

40/1

Won over 19.5f here in April 2025 but very little promise to be taken since and she's easily passed over.

Form: 5PPUF-6

Forecasts

Lunar Ocean (11/10), Majestic Moment (10/3), Gorcombe Moonshine (5/1), Footloose Man (6/1), Thistle Be The One (12/1), Millies Mite (40/1)

MAJESTIC MOMENT is up against largely out of form rivals here and looks to have been found the ideal opportunity to bounce back from a recent unseat to make it 4 wins from last 6 outings. Lunar Ocean made all in first-time blinkers last time and can be the biggest threat if things go as smoothly this time around.
