Formscan - A prolific winner on the all-weather, DARK SIDE THUNDER can record his first success on turf. Jessica Macey's sprinter has been raised only 1lb for finishing runner-up over C&D last month and another bold showing looks on the cards. Rock Opera won a shade cosily over 6f at Doncaster and makes more appeal than Elegant Erin, who scored over the minimum trip at Newcastle. As If By Chance, Treacherous and Trilby are others worthy of a second glance.
