Luminaries
Tried chasing last autumn and did not show much back over hurdles in the winter on last two outings; 4-20 overall as a hurdler, with all four wins in March-May 2025, but there have to be questions at the moment.

From the connections
“Luminaries has been absolutely brilliant for the yard and he's been a big help to me. He's very easy to train at home and he goes out with three or four horses every day, but he doesn't want a lot of hard work. When we got him last year, we got to the bottom of his problems and he seems a lot happier now. He's probably better in a smaller yard. After his last run at Bangor, when he was disappointing, we just chucked him in a field for a week and he's not done a lot of hard work since - Ewan Whillans, trainer.”
“Luminaries had a big ulcer and it's just taken a bit of time to get him back, but we've always thought he's a horse who's capable of running a big race - Ewan Whillans, trainer.”
