In depth
Verdict
Rogue Soldier is upped in trip after placing over 7f while Pourquoi finished runner-up on the Turf before losing her action at Lingfield and being pulled up. Alta Comedia and Bluebottle Blue will need to step up on recent debut efforts as will MELEKI, though the latter showed some promise over track and trip so may prove the one to side with.
