ROYAL REYAH returned to action with a good effort at Bath having ended last year with victory at Doncaster. Dropped in class today, Stuart Kittow's colt should take care of today's rivals with a similar effort. Generalyse has five lengths to make up with the selection on Doncaster running and Wiltshire Life looks a bigger threat having scored on her handicap debut at Kempton. Marinus didn't fare too badly on his latest start and his yard won this in 2008 while a back-to-form Le King Beau would be thereabouts at the finish.
