Verdict

A really tough 'getting out stakes' for punters with many chances but WUROOD is worth another chance as she didn't settle as well as normal last time when a beaten favourite at Yarmouth. Previous runs were far better, including a smooth Wolverhampton success and this drop back to 6f should suit. Her stable could not be in better form. Norwegian Highness produced some useful juvenile form and looks nicely treated if she's trained on, especially with Lewis Edmunds representing fine value for his claim, whilst Ventura Blues almost certainly needed the run in April after a considerable absence. He scored easily over course and distance last term and has every chance if back to that level .Fabric, The Stalking Moon and Edged In Blue are also worthy of consideration.
