KINGS SHIELD ran well in the French Guineas last time out and given his speedy pedigree, he could be hard to beat down in trip back in Listed class here. Aurum is unexposed and likely to improve again after a promising effort in Listed class at Newmarket on just his second start while Lake Volta could be the surprise package significantly up in trip with De Sousa back on board; he's narrowly preferred to Rufus King from the remainder.
