Verdict
Charles Hills takes over the training of Blaise Chorus from father Barry, but she has gone backwards since her second in the Cheshire Oaks in May and HAIRSTYLE can improve past her. The latter never threatened in a decent maiden at Newbury last time, but a repeat of her earlier short-head defeat at Salisbury gives her every chance. Midnight Waltz and Sweet Lavender make their debut's for powerful yards and are worth noting, while better is expected from the likes of Perilously, Balandra and Najraan now they have a run under their belts.
