In depth
Verdict
Flying Romance, a winner on sand this winter, made a successful return to turf with a cosy victory at Windsor last time and has a fair chance of following up. Northside Lodge is another who has been running well on the sand and was a winner on fast ground last year so is another for the shortlist. But the selection is Quiet Traveller, who is expected to improve for a quiet reappearance at Musselburgh. This extra quarter of a mile should suit him better, and with conditions to suit a big run is anticipated.
