A shame to see only four runners heading to post for such a valuable prize and ROGUES' GALLERY can make a favourable low draw count. Mark Johnston's colt showed plenty of speed to win his maiden at Ayr and he was far from disgraced when fifth in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot. David Evans' runners at the track are always to be respected and Pity Cash bounced back with a wide margin win at Bath having been outclassed in the Queen Mary. Gutaifan is surprisingly dropped to the minimum trip having justified plenty of market confidence over six furlongs at Salisbury. Roman Times needs a career best in order to be figuring here.
