8st 9lb |
Sole win from 37 starts (15 over hurdles) came over C&D in December 2024 from 4lb lower; ran well in a Listowel handicap hurdle on stable debut but lesser efforts last two times, including at this venue last time when tenth (1m4f). |

Dual-purpose sort got off the mark over hurdles at Cork in March (2m) but has been unplaced since then and needs a major return to form. |

Still a maiden and he beat only one rival when tried in cheekpieces in 1m2f handicap at Nottingham nine days ago; blinkers are reached for now. |

19th Jun 2024 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Nine-race maiden; attracted some support on his stable debut at Kempton four weeks ago (1m4f) where he finished a creditable fourth of the ten runners; needs more to defy the same mark but his best run for Johnny Murtagh came over 1m2f on good ground and new cheekpieces could help. |

Ex-Irish maiden whose opening handicap mark proved harsh, at 1m2f and 1m5f; has left Johnny Murtagh since last seen in April and probably needs weight off his back. |

Yet to get off the mark over hurdles but unseated two out when travelling easily at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March; pulled up at Uttoxeter since but could be dangerous off bottom weight. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
1m3f Flat winner who is unexposed over hurdles; missed last year but he attracted support on his comeback at Huntingdon (2m, good; equipment added) 17 days ago and was travelling when he unseated two out; on same mark here and he's an interesting contender for in-form yard. |

Ex-Irish gelding who's yet to show anything for this yard, which boasts a decent record round here; well worth a look in the market, back from a lengthy absence and going in a first-time tongue-tie and hood. |

Just one Flat win since 2021 but was only beaten a neck on soft by Tassarolo at Killarney last month; form knocked since and his better recent runs have come on softer ground than what's likely here. |

Won three times at up to 1m4f at a modest level last year; her middle effort in maidens reads well with a view to this initial mark and she's considered. |

Last three Flat runs resulted in wins at Tramore, Limerick and back at Tramore, all at around 1m4f on good and good to yielding ground; no show in maiden hurdles in the autumn; could resume progress back on the Flat; won first time out last season. |

Progressed from low base to complete hat-trick of handicap wins on the Flat over the summer, at Tramore (twice) and Limerick on decent ground; half-sister to a couple of winning hurdlers so could well take to this discipline although may not want too much rain. |

Placed on turf but mostly been campaigned on AW in last 18 months; second at Dundalk two runs back and has had a little break. |
16/1 |
Verdict
Having proven himself in testing conditions last week when narrowly denied, the lightly raced NIGHT MOON can give another good account with this new trip likely to suit. Fond Farewell has been freshened up since disappointing as favourite last time and he could bounce back. He has a poor strike-rate but Contrapposto can’t be ruled out having returned to form in his last couple of Flat outings. [Phill Anderson]
