FormscanBy Michael Graham - Gordon Elliott's STELLAR STORY might take the scalp of Dancing City again. He beat Dancing City into third in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival and his vanquished foe came out and scooted home in a Grade 1 at Aintree. Stellar Story has had a break since Cheltenham and could just be the fresher of the pair. Dancing City is now rated 1lb superior and the pair race off level weights, so it should be a good scrap. Stellar Story's stablemate, Better Days Ahead, would want more rain but shouldn't be underestimated, while Backmersackme is pitched in here for shrewd connections.
