Race preview
VENTURA RASCAL has steadily improved with each start since the resumption of racing and gained his first success at Catterick. Kevin Ryan's gelding likes to go forward, which is ideal being drawn in stall two, and he could have more to offer off a 4lb higher figure. Elixsoft won over an extended mile at Hamilton last time and is respected despite coming back in trip, while a pair of blinkers may yield improvement from Inner Circle.
