Formscan - THE DARK EDGE arrives in fine fettle and found only the progressive Magical Arthur too good at Kempton. The five-year-old gets another chance, with the application of cheekpieces bringing the promise of further improvement. Miss Hunky Dory posted a better effort when third at Ffos Las on her first start after a wind operation and can have a say in the outcome, while Lucky Rose finished runner-up at Fontwell in September and is not out of it on that form.
