Storma Norma comes out best of those alloted an official rating but she's been beaten out of sight of late. Tarquin and Dutiful Son make their belated seasonal debuts with the latter worth noting in the betting while Graceful Act finished closer in soft ground at Newcastle last week and Penny Stock looks a likely improver after a debut third at Hamilton. But a tentative vote goes the way of YARN, a losing favourite in both starts so far but given another chance in what looks an easier task today.
