Formscan By John O'Riordan - The Stephen Thorne-trained SON OF BEAUTY can defy topweight to secure a second career success. Mid division in a well contested renewal of the Madrid Handicap on his turf debut, the gelding has run similarly solid races in two subsequent handicap starts. With this looking an easier assignment, it will be somewhat disappointing if he can't add to his sole previous win on the all-weather at Dundalk. Arctic Assassin failed to beat a single rival at Cork last month but would hold every chance on the form of his previous win at the Curragh. First-time blinkers could see the son of Australia put his best foot forward. Fallacy is another with claims in a tight knit affair.
