Formscan  - It could pay to take a chance on the THE ENGLISH ROGUE. Ed Bethell's three-year-old has plenty of scope for improvement over this longer trip on only his second start in a handicap and makes more appeal than the likes of Percy Willis. The latter has been in the mix over 1m2f at Newcastle of late, while Prince Quattro drops in distance with a shout.
