Delface has dropped to a fair mark and soft going should see him in a better light. An easier surface has produced better performances from Field Exhibition recently but Rasasee continues to flatter to deceive. MAZALTO has disappointed twice over this trip but she bolted up at Fontwell 10 days ago and can defy a 7lb rise here if in the same mood. Blue Rhythm needs further and seems to reserve his best for Southwell.
