Verdict
CAPLA DREAM made her first start for the Tuite yard a winning one when overcoming difficulties in running to score with a little in hand at Nottingham and is the one to beat off a 4lb higher mark if repeating that improvement. She seemed to enjoy her first turf start and can go in again with the champion jockey retaining the ride. Velocistar, runner-up to the selection that day, has since sustained her consistent run with a good third at Chester and should be in the mix once more. Night Of Romance is one note on just a second start on grass and looks down to a very workable mark, with recent winner and lightly-raced Silent Flame also well respected.
