FormscanBy Michael Graham - Aidan O'Brien's GSTAAD looks very much the one to beat. Last season's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner winner reappeared in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket and moved clear with the winner before giving best in the closing stages. Distant Storm, who has been chalked up as second favourite behind Gstaad for this assignment, was some some eight lengths behind him in third at Newmarket, so it is hard to see that form overturned despite the first-time cheekpieces and his solid overall form. Thesecretadversary was fifth behind the aforementioned pair in Newmarket, when keen, but could improve upon that if settling better on home turf, while Karl Burke's Alparslan made all in the Greenham at Newbury and is hunting a cheque.
