It was soft ground at Chester a fortnight ago when ROGUES' GALLERY went close again in a better maiden than this. Mark Johnston's colt has obvious claims up against three newcomers. Of those only Mecca's Missus makes any appeal given she is a half-sister to three winners and looks more likely to chase home the selection than either Total Power or Alba Dawn.
