Formscan - Although Mammies Boy was quite taking when opening his account at Taunton last month, he's effectively racing off a 17lb higher mark with no 7lb conditional in the plate this time. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on the unexposed KING OF THE ROAD. Ben Pauling's charge proved disappointing on his handicap bow when only ninth, but there is a sneaking suspicion that this quicker ground could prompt an improved performance. Any market support for Garitsa Bay would also be interesting.
