Smart front runner who won 4 times in 2025, including when showing a tremendous attitude to win the Cumberland Lodge for the third straight year in October. Stretched by 2m in Group 1 company on final outing and looks to hold outstanding claims down in trip and grade for reappearance.
|
Progressive staying handicapper last season, bagging races at Doncaster and Ascot before going close at York. Gave running to make frame at this level on final outing in 2025, but a lot more required against this opposition returning from 183 days off.
|
Won a handicap at Ascot prior to creditable second at this level at Chester in September. Found out by heavy ground/higher grade on final start last year, but is unexposed at this trip and should prove competitive on return from 161 days off.
|
Reliable sort who has been runner-up twice in handicaps since leaving Hugo Palmer, latterly at Lingfield over 2m in February. Steps up to listed class now but has race fitness on his side against the likely market principals.
|
Won over hurdles last October before returning to Flat and she ran creditably when second of 6 in a handicap at Southwell 31 days ago, having the run of the race. This step back up in trip should suit, but the level of opposition looks well beyond her.
|
Twice a winner in 2025. including a handicap at Chester in May. She finished season with good second of 13 in a listed race at Toulouse in October, but will need major progress on return from 185 days off faced with a much deeper race of its type.

Forecasts
Al Qareem (5/4), Mount Atlas (2/1), Many Men (15/2), Lady Vivian (10/1), Roaring Legend (10/1), Kate O'Riley (33/1)
AL QAREEM won the Cumberland Lodge at Ascot in October for the third successive year and can make a winning return over what looks an ideal trip. Mount Atlas returns from 161 days off and is respected back at listed level, while the reliable Roaring Legend faces a stiffer test stepping up from handicaps but does have fitness on his side.
