Verdict
A chance is taken that SONG OF THE SIREN is far enough forward to make a winning return. She won at Folkestone last year before going close in a decent nursery at Newmarket in September and, if she's improved in the meantime, Andrew Balding's filly could prove the one to beat. Ma Quillet scored over 6f at Warwick last time and should figure once again over this longer trip, while Kempton winner Poyle Judy looks capable of better with a seasonal debut under her belt. Mawjoodah could make the frame, but Map Of Heaven has a bit to prove over today's distance.
