      Verdict

      NEAROOZ, a Wolverhampton winner in April, has started favourite in three subsequent starts, including a Class 2 handicap at Goodwood last time where she failed to fire. She can hopefully put that behind here as Hallalulu is another expensive failure having also started favourite for her three most recent starts and she's changed stables for the second time. Dubai Discovery makes her handicap debut and didn't get the best of runs at Wolverhampton while Lady Mascara had been threatening to win for some time before doing so in good style at Brighton, though she's up 5lb against slightly better rivals. Venusta's only victory came on soft going.
