The 2026 Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle

[Ian_Davies]

Named after the 1974 Champion Hurdle winner, one from the "Golden Era" of hurdling and still probably one of the top dozen rated hurdlers of all time, this contest used to be over 2m (IIRC Hill House in the 1960s refused to start in it prior to controversial success in what is now the Betfair Hurdle), but has been 2m5f for some years ago.

I make this Kempton Park contest the other big handicap this weekend, I'm hoping for a good entry today and an ante-post market by nightfall.

Anything with recent and respectable form with French Ship must be of interest, and Tom Symonds Lud'or would be an interesting entry. He'd have something to prove going right handed but only went up 3lbs for that run and is going the right way. Lets see.

He's entered over at Warwick on Saturday in a 3M1F Pertemps qualifier, which I find interesting. Now back to you, Ian...

Now back to you, Ian...

It will take a right rick to make me have an ante-post bet on this - imo too much cash gets frittered away on NRs in these markets.

I'll have a look at the betting (out later today probably) obviously, but I'm odds-on to wait for Thursday - ditto the Warwick race.

They're betting on it.

As a grade 1 winning hurdler, Captain Teague interesting off 139. Even more so if young Gingell or Keighley get the leg up.
