Capriska showed improved form when stepped up to 1m2f at Redcar last time but has a further quarter-mile to cover here. The improving Melodrama will be fancied to follow up her Wolverhampton win while News Show was only beaten half-a-length over this trip at Leicester and has every chance of going one better. TAFAWUK, by Nayef and closely related to a Grade 1 winner in the US over 1m4f, will surely improve now tackling a distance more in line with his breeding and, given he was just over seven lengths behind Investec Derby second Main Sequence on his debut here in September, gets the vote.
