Formscan By John O'Riordan - No match for the principals in the St James's Palace Stakes, FIRST WAVE can get his season back on track. Placed on his first four starts, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt easily landed a maiden at Gowran Park on his penultimate start. While the step into Group 1 company proved a bridge too far last time, the son of Wootton Bassett remains capable of making his presence felt in black type races. He should take this prize before his sights are raised once again. A beaten favourite at Cork last time, Storm Piece is almost certainly capable of better. Ger Lyons' colt had impressed when winning his maiden prior to that. The unexposed Fingerpaint is not one to dismiss lightly.
