Russian Rascal was well beaten in this last year but won over course and distance in May, when Millie The Minx was tailed off, though failed to cope with a penalty at Market Rasen shortly after and was then a beaten favourite off this mark at Hexham when 13 lengths behind BUDARRI. Stuart Coltherd’s runner probably needed the outing at Carlisle last month and is overdue a victory. It’s more than five years since Captain Brown ran in a grade this low and Brian Hughes may be a significant booking for Jimmy Moffatt’s charge.
