Formscan By Mark Nunan - THUNDERBEAR has a bit to find at the weights but the pick of his form at stakes level would give him every chance in this Listed contest. Jack Davison's five-year-old was second in last year's renewal before finishing third at Doncaster in November. He's had a light campaign this time around and shaped well in an Ascot handicap last month. Easy ground will suit and a high draw may well be advantageous. Last year's third Big Gossey was below-par last time but is weighted to reverse previous Curragh form with Tango Flare. A dual stakes winner in America, Fandom would prefer faster ground and this stiff 6f will test his stamina.%0A%0A%0A
