      Verdict

      Pacharana has an excellent strike rate and got back to winning ways last month at Lingfield. Marsh Pride is running well enough to get involved but probably needs to drop a couple of pounds. Gallifrey came up against an improver at Sandown on her reappearance but steps up a couple of grades for this. MELODIC MOTION gives the impression that she’s a filly that just does enough so an 8lb rise for winning over this trip at Goodwood may not be as restrictive as first appears. She can complete the hat-trick as Nathania has gone up 4lb since beaten at Goodwood and Cliff Face faces a stiff task at the weights.
