Only six, ALL IS TRUE made giant strides in points last season, thumping Frisson Collonges and Tekap at Garthorpe in March to complete a hat-trick. Gina Andrews is a very experienced rider at this level. Plenty of others also arrive off the back of recent wins between the flags, however, including Bonamargy and Camdonian who beat Red Opium at Hornby Castle. Theshoddytradesman got the better of Pyleigh Court and Quintin's Man at Buckfastleigh and chases a five-timer, as does Lift Me Up who made a winning start under Rules at Newbury.
