Formscan - Narrowly beaten in the National Stakes and the Dewhurst, both good trials for this, GSTAAD ticks plenty of boxes. The form of his second in the Dewhurst here has held up particularly well, given the Ballydoyle colt had Distant Storm back in third, with last month's Craven winner Oxagon and the Greenham winner Alparslan further behind. Bow Echo puts his unbeaten record on the line having ended last season with a victory in the Royal Lodge over C&D. George Boughey's hope is a solid option, while King's Trail landed the same conditions race at Kempton as the 2024 winner Notable Speech and he could also prove competitive.
