Formscan  - BLACK STORM made a pleasing start for the Katie Scott stable when hitting the crossbar at Ayr earlier in the month and goes off an unchanged rating. With a similar effort, he could be the one to beat. Flying Fletcher wasn't disgraced in fifth in a warmer contest at Yarmouth and is 1lb lower, so he has to be taken seriously for the Richard Fahey team. Novak isn't out of it either.
