Real Estate landed a double over his best trip of 6f last month including a victory here last time and is 4lb higher today. But HADDAF (NAP) returned to winning ways with a vengeance over a mile at Chelmsford last week when making all for a wide-margin success in an apprentices' race. Escaping a penalty and with Grace McEntee allowed to use her 7lb allowance on this occasion, he looks well placed to go in again. Nezar scored at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago but has so far done all his winning on that track while Qaabil was beaten in maiden company last time. Barrington may prove best of the rest ahead of Golden Force.
