In depth
Verdict
REALT MOR easily landed a point-to-point at Tallow in 2009 and was heavily supported to make a winning debut over hurdles at Ayr last month. He had just taken over the lead travelling well when falling three out and should gain compensation here. Winning bumper Rupert Lamb certainly deserved his first success over timber at Hexham where he just held the fast-finishing Bollin Felix after making most of the running. Kings Grey had looked a certain winner over hurdles before a very poor effort at Market Rasen. He's much better than that as he showed when narrowly beaten by Raya Star at Doncaster.
