Formscan - SPECIAL JOHN won his first two starts for Sam Thomas in a progressive manner and a rise in both class and trip caused him to falter in a deeper race at Windsor. Back down in grade and at an optimum trip, the seven-year-old is a tempting proposition with cheekpieces added. That is not to underestimate the likes of Chief Black Robe, Walkinthepresent and Shuil Ceoil who could all capitalise on any weakness shown.
