NIETZSCHE is still well treated following a 4-lb rise for his Catterick success and he's worth a chance to follow up with a promising apprentice rider taking over. Melakaz is in terrific form and should give another good account, while Blistering Barney remains one to view positively having had no luck in running at Pontefract recently.
