Improved form at Down Royal during the autumn, winning over 2¼m before an excellent second from revised mark. Always behind on reappearance at the Curragh (1¾m) 19 days ago but should run closer to form this time.
|
Went close at Clonmel in September and ridden with more restraint than often the case when a keeping-on seventh at Gowran 11 days ago. 2 lb ease in the weights can only help his cause.
|
Gained third win of a productive period at Dundalk in January. 33/1, below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (1½m, good) 11 days ago and easy enough to swerve given balance of his turf form.
|
Debut winner at Goodwood in August and similar form in defeat later in the autumn. Sold from John & Thady Gosden for 20,000gns in December and having joined another successful stable, this well-bred filly shaped as though in need of the run on reappearance 11 days ago. Hood goes on.
|
Rather in-and-out over hurdles but landed a big-field handicap on the level fitted with cheekpieces in October and close to that level when fourth at Gowran over this trip in April, giving best only late on. Headgear removed.
|
Sixteen runs since last win in 2022 and beaten before stamina came into question when tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (2¾m, good) 18 days ago.
|
Landed a gamble in 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (2m) in December. Too free but did see it out when eighth of 17 in the Chester Plate at Chester (18.5f) 35 days ago. Back down in trip with a tongue strap back on eased slightly in grade. One to consider.
|
Didn't kick on as expected in 2025 and looks summed up by current mark judged on both outings last month.
|
Respectable fourth of 11 in maiden at Navan (1¾m). Off 19 months on first run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien and while she's joined a capable stable ahead of this handicap debut, her well-being is taken on trust.
|
Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Sent off 50/1 but wasn't seen to best effect when fourteenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (1¼m, good to firm) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly up in trip and down in class.
|
Well held over hurdles during the winter but seemed rejuvenated by a return to the Flat when second of 20 in handicap at Navan (13f) in April. Merely plugged on for fifth of 14 in handicap at Ballinrobe (13f) last time.
|
Twelve runs since last win in 2022 but back in good heart this spring, second of 9 in handicap at Killarney (17f) 31 days ago, keeping on well against an unexposed stayer. Has to be taken very seriously up 1 lb
|
Signed off time for David Marnane in the perfect fashion at Listowel in 2023. Failed to win over hurdles for this yard in 2025/26 but every chance he has more to offer on the level, Major claims.
|
Low-mileage 4-y-o but didn't seem to stay this trip when twenty-first of 24 in handicap at the Curragh 19 days ago.
|
Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 14 in a handicap at Roscommon (1½m) last month but failed to repeat that form at the Curragh (1¾m, good to firm) 19 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals.
|
Fourteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (2¼m) 31 days ago. Tries a new trip back on the level in quest to shed maiden status.
|
Fit form hurdling and showed he remains capable of fair form when fifth of 13 in handicap at Gowran (1¾m, good to soft, 12/1) 23 days ago.
|
Fair stayer on the Flat but not at that level sent hurdling when eighth of 12 at Navan (2m, heavy) in November. RESERVE.

NIGHT MOON was an easy winner the last time he raced on the level for David Marnane and while he didn't pull up any trees over hurdles for Willie Mullins, he may well continue the good work back on the Flat. Stablemates Harry's Legacy and Slurricane head the opposition.
