Formscan - THATZA DAZZLER finished over seven lengths clear of the third when a close second at Ffos Las earlier in the month and a 5lb rise for that effort looks to be on the lenient side. David Brace's six-year-old could be the one to beat on that evidence. Happy Boy is his obvious main threat after he bolted up at Kempton last month, but was hit with a 10lb hike for that success, which makes life tougher. Strutter completes the shortlist.
