Adonis Juvenile Hurdle Results at Kempton Park — 21 February 2026

Saturday, 21 February 2026

There are three horses who could be duking it out over two miles when it comes to the Adonis Juvenile Hurdle. Precious Man looks to be the strongest contender and the horse has already notched a couple of notable successes this term. Dan Skelton's charge could take all the beating, although One Horse Town has been in the winners' enclosure on several occasions.

Harry Derham trains a runner who racked up four straight wins before a third place and a runner-up spot. Mustang Du Breuil has claimed successive victories for Nicky Henderson and the four-year-old might be the best value bet. Every other horse in the field is operating at a big price and could well be running for places.

2026 Adonis Juvenile Hurdle Betting Tips

Precious Man looks a formidable operator, with the horse having claimed a victory in Auteuil back in May. More recently, the runner finished second in the Triumph Hurdle Trial at Cheltenham Racecourse in November. The horse found One Horse Town too strong but came back to the track to oblige at Kempton.

The latter success came in early January where the runner was able to achieve a facile success. Over two miles on good ground, the horse made no mistake when scoring a four-length triumph as the 4/11 favourite. Precious Man certainly has solid credentials although some might think One Horse Town is a better option.

After all, the horse was able to win that encounter at Cheltenham and might benefit from the tacky ground once again. Harry Derham saddles a runner who followed up the above race with a somewhat disappointing third at the same track in December. There was then a runner-up spot at the same track in late January.

Mustang Du Breuil has landed back to back successes for Nicky Henderson and could be ready to land another victory. The latest win came in early February at Doncaster Racecourse when obliging in the "National Hunt" Hurdle where the 4/7 favourite was able to oblige. This came after demonstrating his credentials on French soil on heavy ground.


2025 Adonis Juvenile Hurdle Tips

The Ladbrokes Adonis Juvenile Hurdle takes pride of place on the Kempton Park racecard on Saturday, with a number of JCT Triumph Hurdle entrants potentially warming up for the race by taking part in this two-mile encounter. Nicky Henderson is no stranger to success at Cheltenham and he saddles Lulamba who has produced a number of eye-catching displays already.

The last effort saw Lulamba claim a notable success at Ascot in the middle of January, with the 4/5 favourite landing a success by over three lengths. That was in a juvenile hurdle over nearly two miles, with this coming after a maiden victory at Auteil over two miles and two furlongs, although Mondo Man didn’t finish too far behind at Ascot.

Gary & Josh Moore train a runner who was seen racing at Ascot last summer when finishing fourth out of fourteen horses. In the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at the royal meeting, the horse performed well on the flat when sent off as a 25/1 chance. That was over one mile and four furlongs, with the longer distance over hurdles likely to be fine for this charge.

Palladium is another Nicky Henderson-trained runner who was able to land a success at Huntingdon in his latest outing. That was against nine other horses when sent off as the 8/15 favourite and that was the first appearance in the UK after some formative years in Germany. Opec is the other horse trading at single figure odds but has more to find here.
