DARK SIDE THUNDER landed a double back in the spring and a recent second at Yarmouth suggests he can win again off his current mark. Golden Duke was narrowly beat at Newcastle recently while Inanna was beaten only a neck at Yarmouth and Nogo's Dream has also been in the mix recently. A case can also be made for Starproof and the returning Al Ameen.
