Cape Safari had Minnie Diva well behind at Southwell earlier this month but carries a double penalty after going in again at Leicester last week. She's worth taking on under that burden and the less exposed COCKNEY SPARROW makes more appeal. Peter Chapple-Hyam's filly won her maiden at Kempton in good style last month giving the impression there was plenty more to come and she gets the nod. Good Morning Star looks a real threat on the back of her latest second on the the Polytrack while Chankillo posted a better effort at Yarmouth last time but has more on his plate in this company.
