ALMAQAM has had the form of his Group 3 Brigadier Gerard success at Sandown strongly boosted and can now take the next step up the ladder and win at a slightly higher level. Stanhope Gardens ran a cracker in the Derby and is feared most ahead of fellow 3-y-o Bay City Roller, a good second in Group 2 company in France last time.
