Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Penny Capri, our selection, is the highest-rated runner in this Catterick 5f sprint on 70, and although her recent finishing positions read only 5th and two 6ths, there's reason to think she holds more in hand than that suggests, with a first-time hood added today. Bellatina (68) is the most obvious danger, having bookended a flat patch of form with two runner-up efforts. Najmet Minzaal (67) has been a model of consistency with fourth in both starts so far and carries a smart speed figure, while Fortunate (64) also has claims on an improving profile. It's a tightly-knit sprint and confidence in Penny Capri is only medium, but her rating edge and the added headgear make her the one to side with.
