At The Races Verdict

ROGUE BULLET's 5lb penalty for winning at Brighton on yard debut for James Owen is mostly negated by Jack Callan taking 3lb off. The son of Mehmas might not need to improve much on that effort to make it back-to-back victories. Kiss And Run had an excuse at Sandown when anticipating the start and is better judged on her runner-up effort at Windsor, while Lazzar appears best of the remainder.
