Ambiente Friendly headlines Monday's racing at Plumpton, taking on eight rivals in the _Legendary Jimmy James 90th Birthday Novices' Hurdle_. The 2024 Derby runner-up, rated 107 on the Flat, is now a hurdler rated 118. He seeks a second hurdles win after success at Huntingdon, where the runner-up has since won.

At Hereford, Big Ticket and Draco Malfoy clash in a novice hurdle. Draco Malfoy has five runs under rules, including a Huntingdon win. Big Ticket comes off a second at Ascot, where the winner has since placed in a Grade One, but he was pulled up last time with a minor injury. Fitness is key.

All-weather action sees Eupator return to Wolverhampton just three days after a dominant win. He now carries a 5lb penalty but is effectively 2lb well-in. He must hold off Monty Beau, who won over the same course and distance in December and placed third at Chelmsford last time out.
