Verdict
Kung Hei Fat Choy returned to winning ways over a mile here last week with Westminster well beaten. The latter had earlier fallen prey to stablemate Khajaaly over track and trip and the latter should go close once again. But REALIZE arrives in fine fettle having landed a double at Lingfield last month and Kevin Ryan's course and distance winner is taken to continue his good progress in this despite a further 3lb rise. Two Moons won here last summer but has looked in the handicapper's grip since.
