About
Guard The Moon, an 8yo horse trained by N & W Twiston‑Davies, contested the Cheltenham R7 National Hunt Challenge Cup Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race). He is by the stallion Pether's Moon out of the mare Polly Potter. To date he has secured six victories, highlighted by a win on 16 January 2026 at Windsor in the $19,674.00 Cl3 Nvhcpch, his most valuable triumph. Punters have found him lucrative; backing him throughout his career would have produced an 83% return on investment.
