In the futures market with EliteBet for The Everest 2026, Ka Ying Rising is the clear favourite to defend his crown, holding firm at $1.50 in early betting.
The Hong Kong champion has only been beaten twice, with those defeats coming at starts two and three after a debut triumph, while the David Hayes-trained galloper boasts 20 wins and two seconds from 22 career outings.
Autumn Glow ($6) won her first 11 starts before suffering her maiden defeat in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, where a strongly run 2000m proved too much for the Chris Waller-trained mare.
If prepared as a sprinter or miler going forward, she looms as the main threat to Ka Ying Rising; however, no plans have been confirmed for the 2026 spring.
Jimmysstar ($11) was gallant in third behind Ka Ying Rising in the 2025 edition, covering ground before fighting on bravely to the line.
The three-time Group 1 winner atoned two weeks later with a dominant performance in the Russell Balding Stakes and has maintained a strong level of consistency across recent campaigns.
