Almaqam 'the best I've ever had'
Ed Walker is preparing to take the wraps off Almaqam in Saturday's Sky Bet York Stakes. The four-year-old has been limited to just two starts so far this year, finishing third in the Gordon Richards Stakes on his initial outing before securing a first Group Three success when beating Ombudsman in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown in May. While Ombudsman has since gone to win the Prince of Wales's Stakes and finish a narrow second in the Eclipse, Almaqam has not run subsequently due to his need for a little ease in the ground – but conditions could be right on the Knavesmire this weekend. Walker said: "I left him in the King George but didn't feel Ascot was the right track in which to test him over a mile and a half for the first time against the Ballydoyle horses. "At York the ground should be ideal, as well as the track and the trip. It's the natural progression into a Group Two and if he wins well, I will throw him into the deep end and take him back there for the Juddmonte. "I thought 5-4 was quite a punchy price and it mirrors his reputation being bigger than what he's actually achieved in beating Ombudsman." Walker has high expectations for the son of Lope De Vega, who has won three of his eight career starts and counts a Listed triumph on his CV, as well as a couple of Group race places. The trainer said: "I've always thought the world of him as he's seriously exciting. My hopes and expectations make the nerves kick in as I think he's very special, and personally I will be very disappointed if he doesn't win a Group One as he's got everything you want in a racehorse. "I've tried to be responsible and not to get impatient, and hopefully his big time will be in the autumn as the Irish Champion is a perfect target after which we might look at the Arc. But 10 furlongs is where we are going for now. "He's certainly the best I've ever had so far, he's different gear."

See The Fire primed to go one better than last year at Goodwood
The four-year-old was beaten a neck by Opera Singer when second in the Group One last season, and proved she had gone from strength to strength over the winter when winning the Middleton Stakes at York by 12 lengths in May. Her most recent run was a fine third in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot, and another bid for the Nassau now looks her next step as Balding seeks to pave the way to the Breeders' Cup. He said: 'She's a beautifully-bred filly, by Sea The Stars, who won a Juddmonte International, out of Arabian Queen, who also won a Juddmonte International. 'She's always looked a very smart filly. As a three-year-old, we didn't really see the best of her until we got to the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood, where she was narrowly beaten.' Of her last run Balding, added: 'We thought she ran a super race at Ascot, against the boys, in the Prince of Wales's. She's had a little break since then with the view to preparing her for the Nassau again, and hopefully going one better than we did last year. 'The Prince of Wales's this year was run at a ferocious gallop and it suited the closers. In hindsight, we rode her to sit in behind Los Angeles, and focus on beating him, which left us vulnerable at the end of the race. Having said that, they're top-class horses and we might not have beaten them whatever we'd done. 'It was still a career-best performance, and she'll have an easier time, you'd have thought, against her own sex, in the Nassau. It's never easy at Group One level, but she's going there in great shape.' The Nassau Stakes serves as a 'Win and You're In' qualifier for the Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, granting the winner an automatic fees-paid berth into the $2million contest at Del Mar in November. 'The win and you're in incentive is very important for any owner, it certainly pushes the Breeders' Cup to the forefront of your priorities,' Balding said of the prospect of heading to California. 'The Breeders' Cup is a hugely important meeting worldwide, but it does come at the end of a long season so it really depends on how she is training at the end of the season, and what happens between now and then, but it's very much on the shortlist for our autumn campaign. 'It would be lovely to think one day we would have a horse good enough to be competitive in a Breeders' Cup race, we've had a couple of runners so far but no joy, so it's something very much that we are striving to achieve.'
