Formscan - ALMERIC ticks plenty of boxes on his first start since landing the Listed Feilden Stakes at Newmarket back in April. He beat the future Group 3 winner King Of Cities on that occasion and an entry in next month's Champion Stakes suggests big things are expected of Andrew Balding's unexposed colt. The going has turned in Certain Lad's favour and the veteran is still capable of landing a blow at this level, while Liberty Lane is not out of it either.
