GALE FORCE TEN's close second to Reckless Abandon in the Norfolk Stakes is looking even better after the subsequent exploits of the winner and though he was slightly disappointing when sent to Newmarket for the July Stakes he can make amends back over the minimum trip. He had less than a length in hand of Leitir Mor over 6f here in June and the latter remains in excellent form with his second to Pedro The Great in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes here his best run to date. Boston Rocker has only run once at this trip and made the useful Parliament Square pull out the stops at Tipperary when Zoola, who was having just her second start, wasn't far behind. Curly Wee impressed at Cork and may prove best of the David Wachman trio.
