Also in Brussels, Britain’s Charlie Dobson was third in the men’s 400m in 44.81secs, behind Americans Jacory Patterson (44.05) and Vernon Norwood (44.62).

Like Caudery, British team-mate Laura Muir also spoke optimistically of her World Championship ambitions after placing fourth in the women’s 1500m.

After enduring an injury-disrupted start to her season, Olympic and world medallist Muir posted a significant season’s best of three minutes 57.63 seconds in a race won by American Nikki Hiltz in 3:55.94.

“I’m in a good spot. Considering it’s the first time I’ve ran in a race of that calibre for over a year, to come out and run [that time] is great,” said Muir, 32.

“With a little bit more training, I’m excited to see what I can do. I think there was another second or two in the legs today… and running that time you’re not too far away [from the medals].”

In the men’s 1500m, Britain’s 2022 world champion Jake Wightman was ninth in 3:32.95, one place ahead of Neil Gourley (3:33.21), as Dutchman Niels Laros won in 3:30.58.

Rising star Innes FitzGerald, 19, was 15th in 14:48.84 in a women’s 5,000m which featured Kenya’s Agnes Jebet Ngetich chasing the world record but ultimately fading to win in 14:24.99.
