Almeric (C)
FAV
Quickly made into a smart colt when bagging listed races at Newmarket (9f) and Ayr (1¼m) in 2025. Found jump up in class too much when only ninth in Champion Stakes at Ascot (1¼m) final run but this lightly-raced sort remains with plenty o…

Devil's Advocate (G)
[P]
Smart performer who defied a mark of 104 in a 1¼m handicap at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. Resumed with a solid second of 7 in listed race at Kempton (1¼m) 18 days ago. Usual cheekpieces go back on now and may do better.

King Of Cities (C)
Smart colt who landed Group 3 Strensall Stakes at York in August. Signed off for Richard Hannon with a below-par fifth in Prix Dollar at Longchamp but no surprise to see him bounce back for another good yard here.

Saddadd (C)
Lightly-raced son of Pinatubo who looked a very good prospect when landing 1¼m handicaps at Newbury and Sandown. Ended 2025 with a good third in listed event at Goodwood in September. Appeals as the sort to do better still this season.

Muddy Mooy (M)
Useful mare who was hooded when an excellent second in listed event at Chantilly last July on her final outing for Paul Attwater. Returned from 9 months off with a good third in Kempton listed contest (1¼m) 18 days ago. This is tougher tho…
