This was won by subsequent Group 2 winner Kool Kompany last year. ROGUES' GALLERY may not reach the same heights but he looks up to landing this having been placed in both starts to date. He was well ahead of Bukle when runner-up at Bath last week and may have more to fear from one of the newcomers. Soapy Aitken is a half-brother to a winner over 5f and is preferred to Rio Glamorous while jockey bookings suggest Willaway is first choice of the Evans' duo ahead of Edgeoftheforest.
