Another True Story has everything in his favour here and is preferred to Candyland and Winning Spirit. The selection has the plum draw and services of course specialist Ryan Moore in the plate. He won well last time when beating Candyland and with ground conditions to suit he is taken to score. Candyland should be held by our selection, especially as he finds this trip a bit on the sharp side and he has the worst of the draw today. Winning Spirit is eased significantly in grade after being well-beaten in the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood last time. He did win previously at Redcar but he is not the most straightforward and we are happy to take him on. Mind The Style was disappointing last time but he is a course and distance winner and he does have a good draw, so it would be foolish to dismiss him lightly. However, for the winner we will stick with Another True Story.
