Rascallion
Rascallion is a 6-year-old who has been away from racing for nearly ten months, making a return to the track something of a fresh start. The horse has won just once in eight career races, though that victory came at Wincanton on 31 March 2025 — now a full year in the past — and has picked up four places along the way. Over six recent starts before the break, Rascallion showed flashes of consistency with two second-place finishes, a third and a tenth, suggesting the engine was working even when the wins weren't coming.Based on TrackLab's analysis

The real intrigue lies in Rascallion's partnership with Charlie Deutsch, the jockey who has ridden the horse five times. From those five rides, Deutsch has converted one into a winner — a 20% win rate that stands notably above Rascallion's overall record of 1 win from 8 races. That kind of lift suggests Deutsch knows how to get the best from this particular horse, and his presence in the saddle for the comeback could matter. Rascallion races mostly in Class 4 competitions, where the horse has won 1 from 7 starts, a modest return that underlines just how tough it is to land races at that level.
The training yard of Henrietta C Knight has been in good form this season, sending out 15 winners so far, which counts for something in terms of the overall health and momentum of the operation at West Lockinge. After such a long absence, Rascallion will need time to rediscover race fitness, but with a sympathetic jockey and an experienced yard behind it, the horse has every chance to surprise.
