MADRIGAL MOMENT showed vastly improved form when upped in trip and ridden more positively at Ripon, finishing a close second. She's taken to go one better dropped into classified company, with last year's winner of this race Sunset In Paris rating the main danger. Zafaan has solid recent form at this level and should give another good account.
