Formscan - ALMAQAM sets a lofty standard on form following a taking success in the Brigadier Gerard from Ombudsman, who went on to land the Prince Of Wales's since. This ground looks ideal for Ed Walker's star and he should have too much for Stanhope Gardens, who drops in trip having shown up well when fifth in the Derby. Runner-up in a Group 2 at Saint Cloud last month, Bay City Roller may also have a say.
