Sword Exceed won a lower grade sprint over track and trip at the start of the year and can go well again but REAL ESTATE looks worth another chance. He was beaten less than a length when fourth at Wolverhampton last time having earlier rattled-up a hat-trick on the all-weather and Mike Attwater’s charge looks worth sticking with. Royal Dynasty was also in fine form earlier this year but has been raised 6lb for scoring at Chelmsford while Iconic Knight and The Lamplighter are both preferred to Englishman in this grade.
