Delilah Park has now won four times over track and trip and is not easily dismissed, despite a 7lb rise, while Tintoretto is only 3lb higher than when earlier completing a course and distance double. Radetsky looks high enough in the weights now but La Maquina was second off today’s mark here last time and Badri returns to 7f for the first time since winning at Lingfield. Clog Maker and Melodic Charm have plenty of scope but ZHUI FENG (NAP) is unexposed on the all-weather and gets the vote now 6lb lower than when beaten a length in a higher grade contest at Lingfield back in February.
