The Everest 2026 Form Guide

The Everest is hard to assess because we never truly know who's running in the race until the slots are announced.

Redzel has won the first two races and his form would come through the TJ Smith Stakes during The Championships in the autumn.

Yes Yes Yes took the 2019 race, while Kerrin McEvoy claimed his third Everest in four years aboard Classique Legend in 2020.

Nature Strip claimed The Everest in 2021, but finished fourth to unbeaten gelding Giga Kick in 2022. It was Think About It who took out the rich prize in 2023.

After Bella Nepotina saluted in 2024, Hong Kong Champion Ka Ying Rising won The Everest in 2025.

It’s a weight-for-age contest, but ironically the older horses are best suited given the race experience counts for plenty.
