Caramelita brought a frustrating run of placed efforts to an end with a victory at Ffos Las last Monday. She's not guaranteed to follow up under a penalty, however, and RIVAS RHAPSODY looks to have superior form. Unbeaten last year, including a win on heavy ground, she went very close on her reappearance and can resume winning ways in this. Saratoga Slew has a bit to find with the selection on latest running and it was firm going when My Own Way Home won over 6f here last month. Ivor's Princess was engaged to run at Bath yesterday.
