Ryedale Lass won over 1m2f at this track earlier this month but, after another good effort at Bath, she's now 11lb higher in the weights. King's Road has separated a couple of woeful efforts with a victory over C&D and can figure in this if in the mood while Shouda ran well over track and trip a fortnight ago when finishing upsides runner-up ROYAL DEFENCE. The latter is back on the same mark as when scoring in soft ground over C&D in September and gets the nod. Galloping Queen is not badly treated on her return to action but Crimson Monarch's only win came at this track way back in 2007.
