Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Generous Rascal
Generous Rascal heads this Class 5 seven-furlong contest at Wolverhampton on an all-weather surface that should suit, holding an eight-point advantage over the nearest challengers Gunfighter and Al Muqdad — a meaningful edge at this level, even if the confidence in translating it into victory is modest. Kit Gabriel also merits respect as the pick of the rest, though Generous Rascal's superiority on our figures gives him a clear case as the one to beat. **Generous Rascal** is our selection.
