Words Of Truth ran out a comfortable winner of the Listed BetMGM Scurry Stakes at Sandown under Oisin Murphy on Saturday.
Charlie Appleby and Godolphin's three-year-old was running over five furlongs for the first time but was sent off the 15/8 favourite to relish the minimum trip while conceding a 5lb penalty to his rivals.
Settled in mid-division by Oisin Murphy, he made his move two furlongs out and overhauled the leader Lady Youmzain in the final quarter mile to win by a length from that rival.
The performance was even more impressive considering he jumped a path when making his challenge and this was his first run since finishing second at Meydan in January, as well.
