Formscan - Now that the penny has dropped for GREENLIGHTFORGO after a taking success over C&D last month, Tim Easterby's charge is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming. The four-year-old gets the vote ahead of Madame Plaintiff and Mr Heinz, who bounced back to form with highly creditable second at Pontefract last time out. Others to note include Kalganov, Pop Favorite and Top Gun Tina.
