Having shaped encouragingly when third on his return over C&D last month, ALMAQAM looks the way to go. Indeed, on that evidence he could still be progressing and the 4-y-o is taken to inflict a first career defeat on Ombudsman, who has to be respected given his 100% record and potential. William Buick prefers Military Order ahead of Ancient Wisdom and understandably so, on the back of the former's tidy reappearance success on the all-weather.
