The horse's last victory came at Chepstow on 25 August 2025, just over a year ago. Since then, it has raced six times without winning, though it has picked up three placings — suggesting it still has the ability to be competitive, even if the results have dried up. Its recent form reads 2-2-3-–-3-3, a pattern of near-misses and third-place finishes that speaks to a horse hanging on in low-level races but unable to quite get over the line. It competes mainly at Class 6, where it has managed only 2 wins from 24 races, indicating this is probably close to its ceiling.
William Carson has been its most frequent partner, riding it 11 times and winning twice — an 18 per cent success rate that is better than the horse's overall record, suggesting there is some chemistry there. John O'Shea's yard at Newham-on-Severn has sent out 6 winners this season, a modest tally that hints this is not an operation overflowing with talent, but one that does the straightforward work well enough.
Some Nightmare raced just a day ago and is still active. At nine years old, it is not a young prospect, but it has longevity and appears comfortable in its racing life. For those chasing a bargain in the lower grades, it is a horse worth tracking on normal ground — that is where its form comes alive, even if the wins are not coming thick and fast.
