Formscan  - THICKTHORN TOM had plenty in hand over It's A Breeze when they were first and second in a class 4 handicap over C&D and is fancied to cement his authority, despite competing off 10lb higher. A good second to a progressive chaser since, Dan Skelton's six-year-old has solid credentials. Intosomethinggood has been highly tried and could be a bigger danger off just 4lb higher than for his triumph over timber at Kempton. Heed the market vibes on his chasing debut and first run for 188 days.
