11/2
Four-time winner on the AW who posted his best effort on turf when fifth in a 12-runner handicap over a mile here back in August 2021. However, he hasn't shown much in 2 starts since returning from a break, including back on grass at Leicester a fortnight ago.

Exclusively campaigned on synthetics so far, winning twice over 7f at Newcastle earlier this year. Didn't shape badly back from a 5-month break over that C&D recently and she could have a part to play if taking to turf at the first attempt.

In the frame in all but one of her 6 career starts, finishing a respectable third in first-time cheekpieces at Epsom (7f, good to soft) last time. Eased 1 lb and still has time on her side but improvement needed if she's to open her account here.

Multiple winner of 7f Brighton handicaps this season, the latest off a 1 lb lower mark in June. However, she failed to beat a rival home in a 10-runner handicap here last time, so needs to bounce back.

Lightly-raced filly who took a marked step forward on just her second turf outing to score over 7f at Epsom (good to firm) last month. Went like the best horse at the weights when third over the same C&D (good to soft) next time and she remains of interest.

In good form during the spring, successful on the AW at Lingfield in May and went close on turf there and at Yarmouth later that month. Form has dipped the last twice but edging back down the weights and will be a threat granted a return to form.

Forecasts

Twilight Dancer (2/1), Storymaker (11/4), Revolutionary Man (5/1), Jenson Benson (11/2), Abbey's Dream (17/2), Diamond Cottage (9/1)

13:45 Salisbury - 16 August 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Though turned over at short odds at Epsom recently, TWILIGHT DANCER shaped like the best horse at the weights and she is taken to resume winning ways off the same mark with faster ground forecast here. If able to bounce back following a couple of low-key efforts, Revolutionary Man could emerge as the main danger ahead of turf debutante Abbey's Dream.
