English raider Caravel justifies hefty support
Prescott is adept at finding suitable opportunities for all his charges and Caravel, winner of handicaps at Brighton, Haydock, Goodwood and Redcar, duly completed a five-timer under a typically strong ride by McDonogh.
Strongly supported from 9/10 to 4/7, Caravel was driven along to tackle his market rival Princely Hero from three furlongs out, edging ahead on the home turn but needing all of McDonogh’s strength to get home by a head from Pat Smullen’s mount.
