Formscan  - Placed in point-to-points in Ireland, QUEENS ABBEY made an encouraging debut under Rules when finishing third in a competitive bumper at Newbury. Ben Pauling's inmate can launch a serious challenge with improvement expected. Taktique Gagnante is going the right way based on her third at Cork in January. She debuts for new connections with a shout if building on that promising effort, while Sheezer Dancer is a half-sister to a smart hurdle/chase winner in France and is newcomer to note for the Skelton team.
