Returned to form with a short-head victory in an amateur riders contest over 1m1f at Goodwood (good-to-soft) in June. Held over this trip at Haydock (good-to-soft) subsequently and is worth a check in the market on return from a break.

Forecasts

Capriolette (11/4), Miss Blondell (11/2), Debbonair (6/1), Gloweth (6/1), Mandocello (8/1), Perfect Refuge (8/1), Ekayburg (8/1), Gift Of Raaj (8/1), Perfect Grace (12/1), Uther Pendragon (12/1), Highway One (16/1), Doctor Jazz (20/1), Less Of That (25/1), Cheeky Rascal (28/1)

CAPRIOLETTE hails from a stable with a 19% strike-rate (5/27) in recent weeks and she can defy top weight to register a third career success in this middle-distance handicap. The selection finished runner-up last time out and she can get the better of Ekayburg who is returning to the track following wind surgery. Third place can go the way of Debbonair waho was placed off a higher mark on the AW on his most recent appearance.
