7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Second hurdle win for this yard when taking a mares' handicap at Stratford (2m3f, good) last July but very disappointing in her last two runs after lengthy breaks; makes chase debut and she was second in a point. |
7/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made it 2-5 over hurdles when landing a mares' handicap at Stratford (2m3f, good) last July but she flopped in a three-runner race in final run last year; has bit to prove after 218 days but she has potential in this sphere and needs a close look in market. |

Down the field in four runs for Tom Lacey and she returned after long absence with well-held fifth on handicap/stable debut at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) last month; still early days but she needs improvement on this drop back in trip; hood reapplied. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Absent since struggling to cope with 3m on heavy ground in January but made all under Elliott England at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in December and was placed on good ground in the autumn; no surprise if she features. |
6/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Dictated the pace and stuck on well in five-runner race at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in December, opening her account at the 15th attempt; creditable third of ten here (2m6f, heavy) three weeks ago when she made Sean Bowen work hard and Pipas Lescribaa was second, but there's a 3lb swing in the weights today and this new trip now looks well worth a go; each-way chance. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
No wins in 12 but shouldn't be long in putting that right after keeping the favourite honest last time at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft); Elliott England rides again off 2lb higher and solid chance. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Well beaten in first three handicaps, most recently when never on terms at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) last month, but tries a new trip here and connections are persisting with her; worth a glance in the betting. |
20/1 |

8th 8 |
20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
50-1 and 33-1 when well beaten in her first two handicaps (2m4f/2m3f); could be considered only if much stronger in the betting on this first start for 134 days. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Got off to a winning start over hurdles over 2m here in August 2024; a remote last to finish on all her three starts since, however, latest her chasing debut at Stratford (2m4f; three ran) in May; very hard to warm to. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made the frame in two Irish points in 2024 and won good-ground maiden hurdle later that year; returned from long absence with two disappointing handicap hurdle runs this year (2m3f/2m; last of six both times), though, and is tricky to weigh up for this chasing debut. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Tailed off at 14-1 on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) last month when back from a long absence, and she has to prove how much ability she retains; however, she may have needed that latest run and it's too soon to write off this very lightly raced, good-ground novice hurdle winner. |
12/1 |
Verdict
Dance The Moon made a promising debut at Newbury in December and has by far the best pedigree in this field but last month’s reappearance run was very underwhelming and she now has a point to prove. A more appealing option is Irish point runner-up BACK IN THE BAY, who made a pretty good start to her rules career at Worcester last month. Pure Seduction, another Irish point runner-up, makes her rules debut here and is next on the list.[Chris Wilson]
