Verdict
This looks something of a lottery with only a speculative vote going to FIFTY YEAR STORM. The latter finished runner-up on soft ground on her handicap debut but won her maiden on the Polytrack earlier. Stablemate Flying Kiss makes her handicap bow while Song Of Success was a beaten favourite at Yarmouth last time and Musical Tribute drops back down in distance with a shout.
