Tactics and clean jumping will be decisive here. Winner’s purse: £4,700
Race 4:”National Hunt” Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (2:50pm, 2m3f147y)
A Class 4 maiden hurdle with GBB status gives novices a proper platform to show potential. ACEOFADIAMOND, NOT FOR PASSIN and LOVIS DE SCEAUX may translate good schooling into a confident debut display, while PETER’S LAST DEAL, RIVIERA WALK and GETAROSE could improve markedly with race experience and challenge late. This is the kind of race where future performers often first catch the eye. Winner’s purse: £4,193
Race 5: The Injured Jockey’s Fund Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race) (3:20pm, 2m53y)
Progressive novices line up in this Class 4 novices’ hurdle (GBB), a test that rewards those ready to move up the ladder. ROMANY BROWN, CONSTANTINIAN and EMACULATE SOLDIER may bring momentum and look to dictate in the middle stages, while KAVIAR WOOD, MERIDIAN WAY and LIASSE D’ARGENT could be the improver who thrives over the final flights. A key race for tracking upward trajectories this season. Winner’s purse: £4,193
Race 6: Join The 2026 Hereford Racing Club Handicap Hurdle (3:50pm, 3m1f119y)
Returning to a Class 4 handicap hurdle, this contest asks for consistency and a strong late turn of foot. DOCTOR KILDARE, I AM SPIDER MAN and PRINCE DE JUILLEY might exploit recent fitness to stay prominent, and FLASH IN THE PAN, TRACKING TREASURE and SHORTEN SASSY could pounce late if they’ve been held up for a finish. Expect the finish to favour those with both jump and stamina. Winner’s purse: £4,066
