Formscan - Abbey's Dream and TWILIGHT DANCER are both allotted a weight-for-age allowance and, while the former has shown a good level of ability on the all-weather, the latter is the more proven on turf and Jonathan Portman's filly looks the one to side with here. The selection has improved since being stepped up to 7f and she has the scope to build on what has been a sequence of decent efforts of late. Storymaker appeals most from the older brigade.
