Formscan  - OMBUDSMAN puts his unbeaten record on the line here after wins at Newmarket, Leicester, Deauville and Longchamp. As the Night Of Thunder colt was unraced as a juvenile, he could go on to even better things this year. Almaqam comes out top on official ratings and is a serious danger in receipt of 3lb from the selection. He shaped encouragingly on his return over C&D last month, while trainer Charlie Appleby can do little wrong at present and his pair of Military Order and Ancient Wisdom also deserve plenty of respect.
