There looks to be plenty open to improvement here. Ilissos will have come on for last month's debut at Kempton where he ran green while John Gosden's duo, Manifestation and Songjiang, were both unfancied for their first starts and neither threatened to win. Loyal N Trusted ran too free on his recent debut and Westhaven never figured on his. BLAISE CHORUS is a half-sister to a winner on the all-weather and any strong support in the betting would boost confidence in Barry Hills' filly on her racecourse bow. She's no more than a hopeful selection in a wide open race.
