In depth
Verdict
Camouflaged counted Party Potential and Russian Rumour among his victims when winning at Kempton last month and has placed off today’s mark since. But CARIBENO has all the hallmarks of a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver having shown little so far over shorter trips. His dam was a smart middle-distance winner and first-time headgear may also bring further progress. Bruisa also steps up from a mile while Richard R H B was a well beaten third over today’s trip at Haydock and Kings Creek is preferred on only his second start handicapping.
