Rogue Tide won by three lengths at Newcastle recently but has an 8lb hike to contend with and LAURENTIA is the more progressive. The latter was winning for the third time in her last four outings when scoring a shade cosily over track and trip last time and Dean Ivory’s filly can defy a 3lb rise. Reponse Exacte has slipped down the weights and posted her best effort for some time when second over 7f at Chelmsford while both Berkshire Philly and Greek Oasis went close on their penultimate starts but failed to figure last time.
