Verdict

JACK THE TRUTH went close over 6f at Lingfield last time but has won eight times over today’s minimum trip including at this venue. He’s preferred to Restless Endeavour, who placed over 6f here a fortnight ago when ahead of both Araifjan and Tropics, while Invincible Larne is another regularly placed and ran well here last time. Thegreatestshowman, Red Walls and Sir Rodneyredblood all won their latest outings with the latter scoring over track and trip and making most appeal of that trio.
