13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Dual chase winner last summer (3m, good to soft/good) but his latest start over hurdles was in April 2022, and we haven't seen him since he ran as though something was amiss in October. |

28th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Returned to form with two 3m wins this summer (good to soft/good) but was just a respectable third off today's career-high mark at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August and may find this race too competitive. |

24th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Due to take up broodmare duties soon; has won on heavy, raced mainly on good/good to soft; scored readily over C&D on most recent chase start, taking record in Kempton handicaps to 2-2, and remains unexposed at 3m; interesting back here. |
7/1 |

28th Jan 2024 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
One of three runners for Nicky Henderson; Christmas success at Kempton (3m) took her chase record to 3-7; has a fighting chance at the weights, provided that form is transferred back to hurdles. |

Potentially well handicapped but had been hunter chasing before pulling up on his return to handicaps at Market Rasen. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |

C&D winner last summer off 4lb higher and ran to a fair level when runner-up in a hunter chase in May; likely to run well. |

28th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 8lb |
Won this last season on soft ground; this year's two non-completions came over a trip too short and over the National fences at Aintree; got back on track with a respectable fourth at Ludlow; should go well. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
He won a four-runner handicap at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November but has failed to kick on subsequently, proving no match for Genois and Outlaw Peter when fifth at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago. |

Won an uncompetitive race by Ascot standards in November (2m5f) and then only fourth of six at Ludlow; fell mid-race back at Ascot last time; bit to prove on the balance of this form in the last 12 months. |

13th Nov 2023 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Prolific winner (mostly at around 2m on good ground) and fine servant to connections over the years; not as good as he was and didn't run very well on latest outing in September, but should be fine over today's trip and his spring form puts him in the mix. |

Verdict
It was mostly good from NEON MOON last season after wind surgery and there were excuses the final time. Tweed Skirt is open to improvement over this far and Arizona Cardinal still looks well handicapped.[Alistair Jones]
