Verdict
Shush was an impressive winner on Thursday and may be capable of scoring again here at the main expense of Summerise and Blaeberry. The selection won off a mark of 89 at his peak so he looks to be extremely well-treated off his current mark. He beat Farnborough last time at Wolverhampton and despite a 6lbs penalty for that success he still looks the one to be with here. Summerise rates the main danger as she has been in cracking form of late and she made light work of defeating Rowan Pursuit over this course and distance last time. Shush finished behind Summerise at Yarmouth prior to that run but our selection was returning from a break and he looked like he was in need of the run that day. Blaeberry proved she stays this trip last time at Redcar when a fair third behind Lucayan Dancer, and she did run well on her only appearance on this surface back in April. Premier Rouge ran well last time but he may find that this trip stretches his stamina to the limit and for the winner we return to Shush.
