This is a bit of a shocker as Theregoesthetruth only beat one hone when fourth at Ffos Las on his UK debut. Eastern Witness was very disappointing last term while Acapulco Bay looks to be on a downward curve. UN BLEU A L'AAM's run at Uttoxeter in March is just about the best piece of form on offer. He hasn't raced since but competes off the same mark and should be thereabouts. Bernard Llewellyn runs three and May's Ffos Las winner Kozmina Bay and Newton Abbot second Bobby Dove could figure while Bulletproof was fourth over course and distance in September.
