Defender Bramham Review Show 2026

Bramham feels like one of those moments in the season where things stop being hypothetical.

Nicole and Spike look back on a weekend that answered some questions, created a few more, and left plenty of combinations heading into the second half of the year with momentum.

There's reaction to Bubby Upton and It's Cooley Time defending their title after a difficult few months, a brilliant result for Selina Milnes, and discussion around the horses that left Yorkshire feeling like they belong in bigger conversations.

Plus, Tom McEwen and JL Dublin edge the four-star short, the under-25 picture starts to take shape, and there's plenty of reflection on why Bramham still holds such an important place in the calendar.
