33/1

Improved form when runner-up in a Newmarket handicap (12f) on last season's return. However, he failed to beat a rival in listed races both subsequent outings. Off 7 months ahead of first run since leaving Sir Michael Stoute.

Max Mayhem¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: H Kobeissi| OR: 102| CD

12/1

Better than ever when getting back to winning ways in 14-runner handicap at Meydan (12f, good, 13/2) 15 days ago, overcoming a difficult trip in good style. Successful in this race in 2023 and he can give another good account.

Form: 458-631

Balmacara^h¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 101

8/1

Won at Doncaster first 2 starts last year and good efforts when runner-up in handicaps at Sandown in the summer. Disappointing in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (9f, good to soft, 8/1), but he's not dismissed back up in trip for all-weather debut.

Teumessias Fox¹⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 100| C

4/1

Last win came here in January last year. Ended the campaign with a poor run when well held in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (9f, good to soft, 80/1) in September, but he could fare better back on all-weather.

Paradias⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 100| CD

8/1

Returned to this shorter trip, made it back-to-back wins when recording a narrow victory in 7-runner handicap (5/2) at this C&D 66 days ago. Remains lightly raced on all weather and he can go well again in his hat-trick bid.

Mr Alan^p,t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 99

33/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023 but placed in 3 of 4 races at Sakhir this year, second in 14-runner handicap (9.9f, good) 23 days ago. However, more needed if he's to get back his head back in front again. Cheekpieces reapplied.

Mount Atlas¹⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 98| BF

9/2

Most progressive last year, doubling his tally when making a winning handicap debut at Ascot in July. Shaped well when second of 15 at Newmarket (12f, good to soft, 10/3) on final outing in October and he's a major player on return (has been gelded).

Grey Cuban^h¹⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Spencer| T: H Palmer| OR: 98

8/1

Four wins from 9 runs last year, with latest success at Doncaster in September. Tailled-off fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to soft, 22/1) in October, but he no surprise to see him bounce back (won on last season's return).

Forceful Speed^h1,t²⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: Raphael Freire| OR: 96

28/1

Resumed progress when scoring at Pontefract in June and good second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 7/1) 6 days later. Off 9 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving George Boughey. Hood on 1st time.

Form: 114/612-

Ambiente Amigo¹⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S D Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 95

33/1

Won twice for Michael Bell at 2 yrs and acquitted herself well in defeat last season, making the frame in 3 listed races. Tried over hurdles on final 3 outings last year, successful on the first occasion, but has something to find back on the level.

Form: 453476-

Andaleep^p,t⁹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 93| D

28/1

Three wins from 18 runs in 2024. Soon left behind a below-par effort when second of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December, though he may just be vulnerable to his younger rivals. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 052V62-

Killybegs Warrior²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 92| BF

12/1

Long time without a victory but placed on 2 of 3 starts for current yard, not discredited when third of 14 in handicap at Sakhir (9.9f, good) 23 days ago. Runner-up in this race last year and he's 11 lb lower in the weights this time around.

Form: 030-723

Lieber Power¹⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 92| C

22/1

Won handicaps at York and Chepstow last summer, before twice going close to adding to his tally. Seemed unsuited by conditions when sixth of 11 at Newbury (13.3f, soft, 9/2) in September, so he's capable of getting involved if ready to go on return.

Form: 121226-

Calumet²¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: M Botti| OR: 90

13/2

Wide-margin winner of a Windsor maiden on third start and backed up that effort when third of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good, 11/4) in August. Could still have more to offer with this longer trip likely to suit on return from 7 months off.

Forecasts

Teumessias Fox (4/1), Mount Atlas (9/2), Calumet (13/2), Paradias (8/1), Grey Cuban (8/1), Balmacara (8/1), Max Mayhem (12/1), Killybegs Warrior (12/1), Lieber Power (22/1), Andaleep (28/1), Forceful Speed (28/1), Ambiente Amigo (33/1), Real Dream (33/1), Mr Alan (33/1)

MOUNT ATLAS went the right way last year, winning twice before finishing clear of the rest when runner-up at Newmarket in October, and he can pick up where he left off to land this valuable prize. Heading the list of dangers is Calumet, who also enjoyed a progressive campaign in 2024, while Teumessias Fox is another to consider back on all-weather.
