At The PostMount Atlas
Not the easiest race to assess but Andrew Balding's MOUNT ATLAS went with real zest when runner-up in the Ormonde Stakes at Chester last time and could be the way to go. Epic Poet might emerge as the main danger on the back of a good fourth in Sandown's Henry II Stakes.

Smart gelding who landed Ascot handicap last July. Built on a good reappearance second behind Al Qareem in listed race at Musselburgh when beaten 2½ lengths into second by Jan Brueghel in Ormonde Stakes at Chester (13f) last month. This strong traveller should go well again.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosChester1m 5f 84yGoodFlat2/7Musselburgh1m 5f 216ySoftFlat2/6Newbury1m 4fSoftFlat4/9Chester1m 4f 63yGood to SoftFlat2/5York1m 3f 188yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat9/10- 1(5)Al QareemJ: Clifford LeeE: K.

Smart front runner who won 4 times in 2025, including this race, and bagged another listed victory at Musselburgh (1¾m) from Mount Atlas on his return in April. Turned in a rare poor effort when a well-held fifth of 7 in Ormonde Stakes at Chester last time but should bounce right back.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosChester1m 5f 84yGoodFlat5/7Musselburgh1m 5f 216ySoftFlat1/6Ascot1m 7f 209yGoodFlat3/5Ascot1m 3f 211ySoftFlat1/5Curragh1m 6fGood to Yielding (yielding in places)Flat3/9- 2(1)Epic PoetJ: Ryan MooreE: David O'Meara2-25534Âge 76/15/111/2

Smart hold-up performer who posted a solid third in Yorkshire Cup over C&D in May and backed it up with a good fourth of 7 in Henry II Stakes at Sandown (2m) 16 days ago when not enjoying the smoothest of passages.

Smart stayer who scored 3 times in 2023 and was also third (over 2m) in Goodwood Cup and Lonsdale Cup here in 2024. Off for 15 months (has undergone a breathing operation) ahead of this return but he has the form to play a big part if ready to roll.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosKing Abdulaziz1m 6f 201yFlat7/11Doncaster2m 1f 197yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat5/6York2m 56yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/9Goodwood2mGoodFlat3/6Ascot2m 3f 210yGood to FirmFlat7/9- 6(3)TabletalkJ: Rossa RyanE: Tom Clover2632-25Âge 59/19/110/1

Landed the Melrose over C&D in 2024 and did well in pattern company last season despite failing to win. Back with a good second in Group 2 in Saudi Arabia but well below par when fifth of 8 in Sagaro Stakes at Ascot (2m) last time. Needs to bounce back.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosAscot1m 7f 209yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/8King Abdulaziz1m 6f 201yGood to FirmFlat2/11Chester1m 6f 87yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/6York1m 5f 188yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/6Ascot1m 3f 211yGood to FirmFlat6/12- 5(4)Roaring LegendJ: Jason HartE: Olly Murphy403-226Âge 640/140/150/1

Largely reliable stayer who made a positive start for Olly Murphy when twice runner-up in 2m all-weather handicaps at Lingfield in February. Came in last of 6 though in listed event at Musselburgh (1¾m) in April and has since undergone a breathing operation.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosMusselburgh1m 5f 216ySoftFlat6/6Lingfield Park1m 7f 169yStandardFlat2/8Wolverhampton2m 120yStandardFlat2/6Doncaster1m 6f 115yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat3/13York1m 5f 188yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat10/22
