Sky Sports Racing Open National Hunt Flat Race (Category 1 Elimination) (GBB Race)

Newton Abbot · 16:43 · Saturday, 17 October 2026 · 2m167y · Good · Class 4

🤖 AI race preview

The race is expected to see a steady tempo with early pressure from the front-runners, particularly Duhallow Storm and Moonlight Ballet, both of whom have recent form in similar conditions and have shown ability to hold position under pressure. Moonlight Ballet stands out on form with a 4th-place finish in a similar Class 4 race two months ago, where she took keen hold and maintained contact with leaders through the middle, suggesting resilience and tactical awareness—her RPR of 92 and TS of 49 indicate consistent performance despite a class drop. The main dangers are Duhallow Storm, who has a recent 4th-place finish with a notable weakness in the final furlong, and Irish Ocean, a first-time headgear entrant with no prior run data but a strong trainer pedigree under Joe Tizzard, making him a potential wildcard in the field.
