Form & Verdict
Patchy form in three qualifying runs for Adrian Keatley last year and he was beaten a long way when last of 11 on his reappearance and handicap/stable debut at Haydock (6f; hooded) in April; goes up a furlong for his first bash at AW.

Two promising 5f runs to begin his career (trained by Adrian Keatley as a 2yo) but he didn't get home over 6f when last seen; gelded and sporting a hood on this seasonal/stable/handicap debut; opening mark not an obvious gift though.

Form & Verdict
Went close on his handicap/stable debut here in January and he opened his account when sharing a Chelmsford maiden (also 6f, Polytrack) three weeks later; three lesser runs followed but it was a step back in the right direction when upped to this trip and third at Sandown four weeks ago; has become quite nicely treated.

Couldn't reward market support on his handicap debut at Lingfield (7f) in March but he got the job done dropped to 6f at Southwell (Tapeta) one month later; only midfield at Wolverhampton last month but things didn't go to plan that day and he remains unexposed at this trip.

Ran below market expectations on his handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March but posted an improved effort when winning over 6f at Southwell (AW) 44 days ago; needs to transfer that form to turf but this well-related gelding could have more to offer.

Yet to score but he went fairly close at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut in April; hasn't repeated that effort in two subsequent runs, including over that C&D last time, but it's still relatively early days and he's back down in grade.

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Harry Eustace

Good start to his handicap career when close second of 12 to Lion Of Mali on last month's 7f Leicester reappearance (good to firm); if he comes on for that run it's possible he can turns the tables on a rival who had race fitness on his side on that occasion; well held on good to soft last year but it's much too soon to suggest he can't cope with softer than good.

Form & Verdict
Placed twice over 6f for new stable (including here) and he kept chipping away when fifth over 7f at Wolverhampton (Tapeta; first-time blinkers) 19 days ago; form figures here read 123 and he's worth considering back at this venue from a tempting mark.

Placed twice over 6f for new stable this spring (turf/Polytrack) and also has form over 7f; needs to bounce back from a poor turf run in first-time cheekpieces two weeks ago but has slipped to a tempting mark and will be dangerous if he responds well to first-time blinkers.

Kempton novice win (6f, AW) for Oliver Cole last October; respectable efforts in 6f/7f handicaps for new yard this year and first-time cheekpieces won't need to give him too much extra having been eased a further 2lb.

Form & Verdict
Unfortunate not to go closer when second at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) off this mark in June but he hung for pressure when posting a lesser effort at Sandown four weeks ago; tongue-tie and cheekpieces might help and he had 7f AW form in novices; could bounce back.

Verdict

The two fillies, Viviana (second choice) and Piazza, deserve a good look but GENEROUS RASCAL tends to go well here and he’s worth a chance to exploit his reduced mark. Santiago Boy is next on the list.[Richard Russell]
