Like the Blues song set to succeed (2,3,5,5)
I believe the answer is:
on the right track
'set to succeed' is the definition.
'like the blues song' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'song' could be 'track' (I've seen this before) and 'track' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ontheright' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
