Formscan - A winner over a similar trip at Taunton on his penultimate start, KING OF THE ROAD filled the runner-up spot in a decent-looking contest at Kempton on Boxing Day and is an attractive option bidding to add to his tally off just 2lb higher. Rula Bula, who arguably eclipsed her hurdles debut win at Market Rasen when she was second in a Listed race for mares at Newbury most recently, is feared most. Lanesborough is on a workable rating and can go well if building on his near miss at Hereford.
