Sons And Lovers (G)
Smart middle-distance stayer who picked up plenty of prize money in the Middle East this year but firmly up against conceding weight all round in this strong Group 3.

Al Qareem (G)
Smart front runner who won 4 times in 2025, including twice at this level. As good as ever when defying penalty in listed race at Musselburgh last month but work to do on these terms (in receipt of 2 lb when second to Illinois in this last…

Beylerbeyi (G)
[T]
Enjoyed fine 2025 campaign, the highlight of which was his victory in the Cesarewitch. Solid efforts in defeat on all-weather this year, confirming his versatility trip wise, but plenty to find up against this calibre of opposition.

Illinois (H)
Dual Group 2 winner at 3 and made a winning reappearance in this last season. Just as good when runner-up in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot and Goodwood Cup but effort in Irish St Leger final start was most disappointing. Must be given anothe…

Jan Brueghel (H)
FAV
Unraced at 2 but won all 4 starts at 3 yrs, notably the St Leger at Doncaster. Career best when holding off Calandagan in the Coronation Cup at Epsom last summer. Not seen to best effect in King George final start and the class act here ba…

Mount Atlas (G)
Won a handicap at Ascot prior to creditable second in listed event at Chester in September. Pulled a long way clear of the rest when ½-length second of 6 to Al Qareem in listed race at Musselburgh on return but 2 lb worse off with winner h…

Rahiebb (C)
Progressive in defeat since making a winning debut at Newcastle last season, notably when just failing to reel in Scandinavia in St Leger at Doncaster final start. Probably would prefer a stiffer test than this but he's a definite contende…

Reliable veteran but produced a rare poor run at Kempton last time and isn't up to this level.
