Cafe Espresso bids for a hat-trick under a penalty having won a lower grade handicap at Kempton. But she’s up against a couple of John Gosden-trained novice winners with Mehdaayih returning to action after scoring over a mile at Yarmouth in October and FRISELLA making a winning return over course and distance last month with a facile odds-on success. There looks plenty more to come from her and she gets the vote.

Cafe Espresso 8-1 (9-8) won at Kempton 1m 4f hcp fll (5) pol in Apr beating Sapa Inca (9-6) by nk, 8 ran.
