KNIGHT OFTHE REALM came good on heavy going at Exeter on Sunday and bids to follow up under a penalty. He's probably the one to beat if handling this quicker surface as Mikey Legg's claim takes care of the extra. Captainofindustry is lightly raced and has shown enough to suggest he'll be winning soon while Upton Wood rediscovered some form in the spring, though reappears off a 9lb higher mark. Tokyo Javilex has already won three times this autumn but has shot up the weights again as a result and was only fourth at Huntingdon last time. Our Folly is another climbing the ratings.
