      Verdict

      STAR STORY returns to maiden company having placed in both starts in handicaps including a recent second at Wolverhampton. Ralph Beckett’s filly can open her account at the main expense of Warm Oasis. The latter has been thereabouts in maiden races on the all-weather and should have the beating of Sugarloaf Mountain on today’s terms. Dual bumper winner Cuckoo's Calling drops back in trip for her debut in this code but looks best of the rest.
