Connections clearly don't put the poor run of BLAISE CHORUS in the Oaks down to the trip, as she's back over the same distance today. A repeat of her earlier second to Wonder Of Wonders in the Cheshire Oaks should see Barry Hills' filly off the mark. Unex Renoir was beaten a couple of lengths in a Chester handicap last time and he can figure along with Royal Peculiar, who will appreciate the longer trip having finished third at Newmarket on his recent debut. Jamr was fifth at Wolverhampton on his first start but this greater test of stamina and first-time headgear should see him in a better light, while Momaris and Ajeeb are others to note in a competitive maiden.
