Mystery Drama is starting to come down the weights and is preferred to Dark Amber of the older fillies but this should go to one of the three-year-olds. Opera Fan is upped in grade under a penalty after scoring at Ripon while another 6lb may have put paid to Sleeper's hat-trick bid. COSETTE didn't quite get home over 1m6f at Sandown last time but was still beaten less than a length suggesting Henry Candy's charge is still fairly treated here off only a pound higher. She gets the nod as Pink Diamond was easily brushed aside off this mark at Ffos Las on Tuesday.
