Verdict

Blue Wave continued his rapid progress when winning at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago. But his only defeat in his last five starts came over track and trip at the hands of today's rival GRENDISAR. Marco Botti's colt can confirm running on better terms and gets the nod to follow up. Stepping Ahead is perfectly capable at this level and can reverse earlier form here with Shavansky, while Duchess Of Gazeley went close off today's mark over 2m here on her return and is another to consider. Kieren Fallon's presence on Angel Gabrial takes the eye and suggests the latter may run a big race despite returning from a long absence.
