Although POWERFUL GLORY's Group 1 success at Ascot last autumn came at huge odds his lightly-raced profile provides hope he can go on and show that to be no fluke in 2026. Comanche Brave has started the year with some fine efforts overseas and can provide the chief threat ahead of last year's winner James's Delight.
