SEE THE FIRE holds the edge on form and represents a stable that can do no wrong at present so gets the vote in a cracking Gordon Richards Stakes. Ed Walker's Almaqam could take a step forward in 2025 and rates a big threat though, along with Royal Champion, who remains unbeaten since joining Karl Burke. The returning Al Aasy completes the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Smart colt who bagged a 1m listed event here last May and signed off with a good head second in Prix Dollar at Longchamp (9.7f, good to soft) in October. Remains with few miles on the clock and not taken lightly.

    Verdict
    Very smart and consistent filly who landed Group 3 Strensall at York (9f) last August and ended her campaign with a good fifth of 11 in Champion Stakes at Ascot (10f) in October. Holds leading form claims for yard well among the winners.

    Verdict
    Smart colt who completed a four-timer over C&D last May on his sole start of 2024. Posted a solid fourth of 7 in Dubai City of Gold at Meydan (12f, good) last month. Still low mileage and one to consider for top yard.

    Verdict
    Highly-talented veteran who landed Group 3 at Goodwood and Geoffrey Freer at Newbury last summer. Has won when fresh so is very much one to consider on his seasonal return.

    Very smart gelding who has gone 2-2 for his current yard (following a spell in Australia) this winter in listed race at Lingfield and Winter Derby at Southwell (11f). Must enter calculations.

    Smart colt who landed Group 3 Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket (13f) last July. Came in last of 7 in John Porter at Newbury on his reappearance however so has something to prove now.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced 6-y-o who brought up the hat-trick in 1m2f Newmarket handicap in June, 2023. Raced only three times last term and came in a below-par fifth in 1m2f listed event at Newcastle in November. Needs to take a step forward here.
