Golden Ace

11st 5lb

J: Lorcan Williams

T: Jeremy Scott

Fortuitous winner of the 2025 Champion Hurdle (same story in this season's Fighting Fifth); could only manage fifth when attempting to retain her crown (9.75l behind Lossiemouth); posted another solid effort in the Aintree Hurdle last time when fourth (2m4f, good to soft); return to 2m should suit, cheekpieces go on and she was second in this contest last year (good) but may need further luck to increase Grade 1 haul.

J: Lorcan Williams

T: Jeremy Scott

Fortuitous winner of the 2025 Champion Hurdle (same story in the Fighting Fifth) and finished only fifth, behind some of today's rivals, when attempting to retain her crown; largely consistent and has won over 2m4f but increasing her Grade 1 tally may require further luck.

11st 3lb

J: Lorcan Williams

T: Jeremy Scott

Record of 3-4 at Cheltenham features two Festival wins, beating Brighterdaysahead in the Grade 2 novice hurdle in 2024 then admittedly fortuitous (left in lead when State Man took a late fall; odds-on Constitution Hill exited earlier) when 25-1 in this race last year; also had fortune on her side in this season's Fighting Fifth as the front two in the market, including The New Lion, failed to complete; ran creditably on Boxing Day when last seen; largely consistent and should go well but may require further luck to retain her crown.

J: Lorcan Williams

T: Jeremy Scott

Fortunate to win last season's Champion Hurdle (2m, good to soft) but it was still a highly creditable performance, and she produced another when second in the Punchestown equivalent in May (2m, yielding); also effective on good ground; she's the one to beat on this return to action.
