Formscan  - BLUE BOLT goes from strength to strength and took last month's step up to Listed company in her stride with a cosy success over C&D. That form has worked out well and Andrew Balding's charge looks one to keep on the right side of. A Group 3 winner at Epsom before struggling in the Prix Rothschild, Spiritual is burdened with a 3lb penalty so Cathedral may prove a bigger threat on her fourth in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.
