Handicap | Hurdle | 2m 5f 122y
Going: Good to Soft
At The PostMoorland Rambler
A tight handicap. MOORLAND RAMBLER turned in his best effort for some time when winning at Ffos Las on final start last season and is still fairly treated. He looks most interesting if returning in the same form, with Al Sayah feared most in her bid to maintain a perfect record over C&D. Busy Being Busy ought to be better for his reappearance and could be the beneficiary if the pace is strong.

Very much on the up when completing a 2½m handicap hurdle hat-trick at Plumpton last spring. Needed the outing (worked up before hand and took strong hold in race) when reappearing in a much deeper handicap at Market Rasen (16.6f) last month. Capable of better if he can settle back up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMarket Rasen2m 125yGoodHurdle8/12Plumpton2m 4f 114yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/6Fakenham2m 4f 1yGoodHurdle1/5Fakenham2m 4f 1yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/6Doncaster2m 128yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/14- 1Al SayahJ: Conor O'FarrellT: Neil Mulholland12-1123Age 511/213/26/1

Likeably consistent over hurdles and is 2-2 over this C&D. Better than ever when third in a stronger 14-runner handicap at Cartmel in July and makes plenty of appeal back down in grade.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCartmel2m 6f 31yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/14Bangor-on-dee2m 3f 123yGoodHurdle2/6Newton Abbot2m 5f 122yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle1/7Newton Abbot2m 5f 122yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle1/8Exeter2m 5f 137yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle2/5- 10StinginhisstepJ: Sean HoulihanT: Susan Gardner2131743Age 611/27/113/2

Keen-going sort is twice a winner at this course (18.5f) and arrives in form having finished third in 5-runner C&D handicap last month, despite pulling his way to the front.

Made most of a good opportunity when bagging 3-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f) in May and back to form following a break (has a decent record when fresh) finishing runner-up in a 5-runner C&D handicap 19 days ago.

Capitalised on a reduced mark to make all in back-to-back handicaps in cheekpieces at Ludlow/Taunton last December. Likely needed the run on both starts at this track last month and remains to be seen if he's closer to form with headgear again left off (yard also saddle Moorland Rambler).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewton Abbot2m 5f 122yGoodHurdle5/5Newton Abbot3m 2f 105yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/6Plumpton3m 217yGoodHurdle3/5Plumpton3m 217yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/5Taunton2m 7f 198yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/6- 6El CapitaineJ: Harry CobdenT: Kayley Woollacott9F/P-Age 710/18/19/1

Struggled in Irish handicaps for Tom Dreaper in the 2023/24 season but has won 7 times in Point-to-Points subsequently (latest in May this year).

Resurgent in blinkers at the end of last season, winning a pair of weak handicaps easily prior to beating a subsequent winner when landing the hat-trick at Haydock (24.3f) in April. That was a career best and she's a player if returning in similar form.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park3m 58yGoodHurdle1/5Ludlow2m 5f 55yGoodHurdle1/4Taunton2m 7f 198yGoodHurdle1/9Exeter2m 2f 111yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/10Taunton2m 7f 198yGood (Good to Soft in Places)Hurdle8/15- 5Coconut TwistJ: Harry ReedT: Daisy Hitchins112-P04Age 714/114/116/1

Enjoyed a productive spell last season, landing three handicap hurdle wins (including one at this course). Bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts with a more encouraging fourth over C&D last time, likely to have finished second with a clear run. Claims if he can build on that run.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewton Abbot2m 5f 122yGoodHurdle4/5Uttoxeter2m 7f 70yGoodHurdle10/14Southwell3m 60yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdlepu/3Newton Abbot3m 2f 105yHeavyHurdle2/8Newton Abbot3m 2f 105yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle1/6- 9Moorland RamblerJ: Ciaran GethingsT: Mrs Jane Williams742741-Age 716/112/114/1

Turned in his best effort in some time on second start in cheekpieces to win a 2½m handicap on heavy ground at Ffos Las in February (runner-up winning next time). Goes without headgear but he's still fairly treated and looks interesting if returning in the same form.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFfos Las2m 4fHeavyHurdle1/8Wincanton2m 3f 179yHeavyHurdle4/15Exeter2m 5f 137yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle7/18Exeter2m 2f 111ySoftHurdle2/10Exeter3m 54yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase4/4- Non-Runners

Won a 9-runner handicap at Wincanton on second start for Harry Derham last season (won 4 times in Jersey in the interim) and ran right up to her best after 13 weeks off (having rejoined the yard) when a narrow runner-up at Ludlow (21.2f) 10 days ago.
