Formscan - Useful Flat performer CHARGING THUNDER has made a seamless transition to hurdles, recording wide-margin wins at Fakenham and Sedgefield. Given his ability on the level, an opening mark of 115 could prove to be extremely lenient and he's taken to land the hat-trick. Uttoxeter scorer Court Cian might be the main danger despite a 7lb rise, while Ikigai Star, who sports cheekpieces for the first time, is another to consider.
