Mata Hari Blue came unstuck off today's mark at Goodwood last time having won over C&D before that and DELIRA is preferred. She scored at Warwick before going close at Bath last month and should cope with a 3lb rise as she's still improving. Song Of Parkes beat a subsequent winner at Redcar recently though faces stiffer competition here, but Witchry and Brave Dream scored on their penultimate starts and aren't out of this. Gracie's Game could prove best of the remainder.
