Formscan - The eye is immediately drawn to NIGHT STORM, who hasn't looked back since returning from the sidelines, winning two on the bounce. James Tate's colt carried a penalty when successful by two lengths at Wolverhampton and can defy his opening rating of 87. Buzz Box has been off since completing a double over track and trip last March, but warrants a market check on his first outing for the Michael Herrington stable. King's Crown completes the shortlist.
