SIR MICHAEL STOUTE is a master at bringing fillies forward for their four-year-old campaigns, and he can produce his magic again with CRYSTAL CAPRICE (3.30) at Ayr.
The daughter of Frankel scored a hat-trick of wins last term over a mile, culminating in a handicap score at Ascot in September, winning by a cosy length and a quarter ahead of Don’t Tell Claire, and then went on to finish third in a Newmarket listed event behind Zanbaq.
She returned to action just over three weeks ago at Nottingham, where she finished fifth in another listed event on softer ground than she would prefer.
That run would have brought her on considerably and she will give the likely favourite, Al Husn, plenty to think about in the listed Tennent's Lager British Stallion Studs EBF Rothesay Stakes.
