Let's start with the mighty Altior who goes head to head with Cyrname at Ascot on Saturday in a duel which has captivated the sport.

Winner of his last 19 races, he looks certain to add to his Grade 1 haul even if he fails to stay three miles in the King George.

The Gordon Elliott-trained Andy Dufresne has won his bumper and maiden hurdle by an aggregate of over 20 lengths without coming off the bridle. He looks a natural for the Albert Bartlett.

His stablemate Battleoverdoyen has landed five of his six races, and ought to develop into a leading candidate for RSA Chase honours.

Nicky Henderson's Champ, the current favourite for that race, made a thoroughly pleasing first start over fences at Newbury recently.

Staying is his forte, and he remains open to improvement when that stamina is drawn out.

Envoi Allen justified plenty of market confidence when seizing the Weatherbys Champion Bumper last term.

Unbeaten in five starts and a point-to-point, he jumped well on his hurdling bow at Down Royal, and the Ballymore looks the natural big-race target. He oozes class.

Fakir D’oudairies has the scope to develop into a leading candidate for the Racing Post Arkle. He couldn’t have made a better start to the season when beating Melon at Navan.

Lady Buttons remains an underrated mare who could score lots of points via Listed mares’ chases or handicaps. She idles in front so it’s hard for the assessor to get to the bottom of her.

Lostintranslation has everything you look for in a Gold Cup horse, while Ok Corral appeals for races such as the Ladbrokes Trophy and Welsh Grand National.

Paisley Park, who completes the list, is a must-include. He looked unbeatable in staying hurdles last term and is open to further progress.
