Verdict

GENEROUS RASCAL has shown run-to-run improvement thus far and now heading up in trip for his handicap debut, Oliver Cole's charge gets the vote to double his tally at the expense of Luminare, who won well at Newcastle last month and is fancied to go close re-united with Tom Marquand. Tactical Formation looks a potential improver now handicapping so he rounds off the shortlist trying 7f for the first time.

  1. GENEROUS RASCAL
  2. LUMINARE (IRE)
