      Verdict

      Realt Na Mara can see off Kensington and Quiet Times. Realt Na Mara produced a gritty effort at Wolverhampton and if he can adapt to this surface at Southwell, he has to have every chance of continuing his forward progression. Kensington had slipped to an attractive mark and made full use of it last time out. That was his first victory for an almost a year and a 4lb rise does not look unduly harsh. Quiet Times is perfectly able but has a tendancy to lose ground at the start. Proud Killer has the first time visor off this afternoon. Front-running Trinculo is always dangerous if securing a soft lead. Realt Na Mara does have the obvious question as to whether he'll act on the surface but we are prepared to take the chance.
