Bangor-on-Dee
Fri 4th Sep

Formscan  - Mickey and James Bowen teamed up to take this last year and have chances once more with Tamarind Bay, who unseated at Perth last month but had won his previous two starts. He can go well but giving 14lb to the hat-trick seeking THICKTHORN TOM may prove too much. Upped in trip after easing home at Newton Abbot, he carries a 7lb penalty but still looks well-handicapped. Regal Renaissance lost a shoe when third at Worcester and is another for the shortlist, alongside the consistent Presentandcounting.
