A valuable long-standing feature maiden in which preference is for NEW MONARCH, who found only an experienced odds-on favourite too good at Newbury last month and with further progress on the cards, Andrew Balding's colt is taken to go one better. Words of Truth proved less clued up than typical for this yard first time up, but he may prove a different proposition now gelded, while newcomers Dark Shore and Harbor Lock both tick plenty of boxes on paper so round off the shortlist.
- NEW MONARCH (IRE)
- WORDS OF TRUTH
