The betting suggested A LOVABLE ROGUE would go close over track and trip last time and he duly returned a winning favourite. Unexposed, he may well shrug off a penalty. John Coffey drops down in class and distance but one win in 24 attempts is off-putting and Secret City is preferred only 2lb higher than when scoring at Thirsk last month. New Lease Of Life went close off today's mark at Carlisle earlier and dual course and distance winner Gold Beau has tumbled down the weights this year.
