Verdict
It's unlikely we've the seen the best of RUSSIAN REALM yet. He went very close to catching Tobacco Road in soft going at Sandown in September and it would be no surprise if he's good enough to land this less competitive affair on his reappearance. Myboyalfie carries a penalty for his recent win at Warwick but has plenty to find with the selection on a line through Tobacco Road. Sword Of The Lord ran well on his comeback at Leicester and handles soft ground, but Ishikawa would prefer a faster surface. Evident didn't stay a mile last year and Good Luck Charm has also proved best over 7f so far. Big Whiskey is not badly weighted on his earlier form in Ireland and a couple of outings in the all-weather should have put him spot on for this.
