Dermot Weld's filly Homeless Songs has been scratched from the Group 1 Coolmore America 'Justify' Matron Stakes due to being in season.

Weld still has the favourite in the race in Tahiyra who is gunning for a hat-trick after victories in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

She is due to face 11 rivals including Ger Lyons' Zarinsk who is on a four-timer after Group 3 successes at this track and Fairyhouse before a Group 2 victory here in July.
