Al Qareem
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.

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1m 7f 209yGoodFlat3/5Ascot1m 3f 211ySoftFlat1/5Curragh1m 6fGood to Yielding (yielding in places)Flat3/9York2m 56yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/6York1m 5f 188yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/6- 3(1)Mount AtlasJ: Oisin MurphyT: Andrew Balding551924-Age 55/23/111/4

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury1m 4fSoftFlat4/9Chester1m 4f 63yGood to SoftFlat2/5York1m 3f 188yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat9/10Ascot1m 3f 211yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/6Ascot1m 3f 211yGood to FirmFlat5/18- 4(4)Roaring LegendJ: Jason HartT: Olly Murphy9403-22Age 69/19/18/1

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 7f 169yStandardFlat2/8Wolverhampton2m 120yStandardFlat2/6Doncaster1m 6f 115yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat3/13York1m 5f 188yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat10/22Newmarket (july)1m 6fGood to FirmFlat4/13- 2(6)Many MenJ: Pat CosgraveT: Jim Boyle318124-Age 49/19/18/1

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1m 6f 34yGood to SoftFlat4/8York1m 5f 188yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/12Ascot1m 7f 209yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/6Haydock Park1m 6f 1yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat8/10Doncaster1m 6f 115yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/10- 6(3)Lady VivianJ: Rossa RyanT: Ralph Beckett211772-Age 412/110/111/1

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosToulouse1m 3f 205yGood to softFlat2/13York1m 3f 188yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/9Ascot1m 3f 211yGood to FirmFlat7/11Chester1m 4f 63yGoodFlat1/7Southwell1m 4f 14yStandardFlat1/7- 5(2)Kate O'RileyJ: Cieren FallonT: James Owen1504-62Age 440/140/133/1

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 3f 23yStandardFlat2/6Lingfield Park1m 2fStandardFlat6/12Newbury2m 69ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/12Cheltenham2m 87yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle3/8Ludlow1m 7f 169yGood to FirmHurdle1/6
