Rogue Star is well exposed and gives weight-for-age to three-year-olds who could prove better than this level. NAASER couldn't get close enough to the favourite McLean House over the trip at Kempton and hung through inexperience. He stayed on nicely once the penny dropped and can go one better. Kangaroo came in for support at Wolverhampton and was up with the pace throughout so should have come on enough to get into contention. Ghost Lights has been taking time to warm up over 6f but Athene's Kiss is a half-sister to a winner from 6f-1m so should be ideally suited by the trip.
