Precious Man headlines eight entries for the Ladbrokes Adonis Hurdle at Kempton Park this Saturday. The horse recently made a winning debut for trainer Dan Skelton over the course and distance. Several promising juveniles and novices are set to compete in supporting races.
The Ladbrokes Adonis Hurdle at Kempton Park features eight entries, with Precious Man standing out after a successful start for the Dan Skelton stable in January. He won over the same course and distance, marking him as an exciting prospect in the Grade 2 contest.
Among potential rivals is One Horse Town, who finished second to Skelton’s stablemate Maestro Conti during Festival Trials Day. The horse has experience in major UK juvenile races this season. Nicky Henderson’s Fantasy World, who underperformed at Musselburgh on Sunday, may seek quick improvement. Henderson’s other entry, Mustang de Breuil, secured a victory on his debut for the stable at Doncaster. Allure represents Noel George and Amanda Zetterholm as an intriguing contender.
In the Ladbrokes Dovecote Novices’ Hurdle, Dan Skelton’s Double Measure faces competition from Hamlet’s Night, who placed second in the Elite Hurdle. Other rivals include Onlyforfrankie, winner at Taunton and Musselburgh; Storming George; and Harry Derham’s Klub De Reve, who impressed with a Boxing Day win at Kempton.
The Ladbrokes Pendil Novices’ Chase attracts Paul Nicholls’ Blueking d’Oroux and Go West. Lucy Wadham’s Jax Junior enters after a Sandown handicap win from a mark of 139. The Skeltons’ Mirabad was runner-up to Steel Ally in the Kingmaker last time out.
These entries highlight a competitive card at Kempton, drawing top British trainers and promising horses ahead of the weekend racing.
