RASCAL RECKNELL made it 2 wins from 3 starts for new connections with a career-best success over C&D last month and he may be able to follow up that victory. Signcastle City is below his latest winning mark and ought to be much more competitive with sights lowered, while Rascal Recknell ran well over 6f on turf last time and is respected back over 7f on the all-weather. Benacre is the likely pace angle and could go well if able to dictate.
