REAL WORLD disappointed in four starts on Dirt here last winter having made a very impressive start at Chelmsford. He certainly made up for it on Turf last summer, starting out with a convincing victory in the Royal Hunt Cup and ending with a four-timer in the Group 2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein at Longchamp. This looks well within his capabilities and he should be up to conceding 4lb to Path Of Thunder, who looked an improved performer when beating Moqtarreb just over two lengths over the track and trip three weeks ago. One Ruler, who started favourite in the latter event, never got involved but stayed on and looks certain to get closer.
