Rated 92, it’s a bit of a surprise to see RUSSIAN REALM in this as he was winning a Class 2 contest at Goodwood earlier this year. He may have the beating of Flowers On Venus in this, despite the latter just edging things at the weights. Threebagsue and Hearmenow also have a shout on these terms though the latter hasn’t raced since January and the former only won a claimer at Lingfield back in April. The remainder look up against it on such unfavourable terms and that includes Gold Flash and Bahamian Sunshine.
