Formscan - Having completed a hat-trick over C&D last month, Rogue Diplomat demands respect given his progressive profile. A further 3lb rise for James Owen's colt looks workable and another bold bid is forecast, but FIRST AMBITION could be open to more improvement. The lightly-raced four-year-old arrives on the back of a solid second on his handicap bow at Haydock and, off an unchanged mark, a repeat performance may prove sufficient. The down-in-distance Midnight Gun is worth a second look too.
