Premier Generation can continue his fine run by recording his fourth victory of the season in the 49's Handicap at Ascot today.

David Arbuthnot's five-year-old has already been successful in 10furlong handicaps at Newbury, Nottingham and Sandown and can has strong claims despite carrying top weight of 9st 10lb.

The welter burden of 9st 13lb failed to stop Premier Generation from landing the spoils on his latest start. Under a fine ride from champion jockey Kieren Fallon, the son of Cadeaux Genereux took the lead inside the final furlong and battled on gamely to hold Shalad'or by a short head.

With Fallon in the plate again, Premier Generation can ward off all-comers over his favourite trip.

It could be the younger generation in the shape of three-year-old Captain's Log that gives the selection the most to do.

Michael Bell's bottom weight failed by a head to catch Himself at Newcastle on his latest start after finishing a creditable sixth to Hitman at Newmarket.

Trifecta punters could do worse than adding Party Romance to Premier Generation and Captain's Log in the new Tote bet to select the first three home in the correct order.

The feature Bonusprint Fillies' Conditions Stakes looks readymade for the very promising Kismah.

The Alec Stewart-trained daughter of Machiavellian made a highly-impressive debut at Ripon last month when quickening clear to slam Splendid Isolation by five lengths without her rider having to move a muscle.

Kismah, who is from a very good family, is sure to have come on for that run and can boost her paddock value further with a win in this £25,000-added contest.

Preston trainer Eric Alston does well on his ventures to the Berkshire track and has sound prospects of a first and last race double with Hiltons Executive and Warning Reef.

Hiltons Executive was only three lengths behind the winner when fifth of 21 to Double Oscar at Goodwood last week as her saddle slipped. Compensation awaits in the Rennie Deflatine Handicap over five furlongs.

Warning Reef was beaten a neck by Moon Colony at Doncaster three weeks ago, but can take his revenge on 7lb better terms even though the winner has since beaten another Alston-trained horse, Ordained, at Newmarket.

Marabela looks the best bet at Salisbury in the EBF Cheviot Classiified Stakes.

The Luca Cumani-trained filly followed up a promising third to Souffle - a winner since - at Haydock last month with a smooth victory at Nottingham two weeks ago.

Etterby Park, a game runner-up to Puteri Wentworth in the Goodwood Stakes, can go one better in the K & N White Construction Handicap at Newmarket tonight.

The beautifully-bred Adnaan can make a winning debut in the City Truck Maiden over seven furlongs. The John Dunloptrained colt, is a son of the 1989, 2,000 Guineas, Derby, Eclipse and King George hero Nashwan, cost £900,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to Hernando, winner of the 1993 French Derby.
