Formscan - THICKTHORN TOM didn't beat much at Newton Abbot last week but he was in a determined mood and will take some overhauling if he is in the same frame of mind. Obviously, a 7lb penalty complicates matters and the consistent Carpe Diem could be a big danger on these terms. Misteroddsocks gets weight from the rest and is another to keep an eye on with the step up in trip a potential source for improvement.
