Verdict
ROGUE BULLET's 5lb penalty for winning at Brighton on yard debut for James Owen is mostly negated by Jack Callan taking 3lb off. The son of Mehmas might not need to improve much on that effort to make it back-to-back victories. Kiss And Run had an excuse at Sandown when anticipating the start and is better judged on her runner-up effort at Windsor, while Lazzar appears best of the remainder.
Last time out winner Rogue Bullet is likely to prove popular on favourable fast ground but a 5lb penalty does make life tougher. Instead it could be worth chancing SAM'S XPRESS on his reappearance. He won fresh when trained in Ireland and enjoyed a productive winter on the AW. The handicapper has relented ahead of his return and he could prove tough to peg back if able to grab the rail. The steadily progressive Ancient State won a better race than this last time and is also respected despite an 8lb rise.
