VOICE OF TRUTH stands out in this. The Godolphin filly made a promising start at Newmarket when second to a subsequent Group 3 runner-up and the third horse has won since. Fareeq looks next best having shown good progress at Thirsk last time and is preferred to Angel Palanas, fourth in a division of the same maiden race at Thirsk. The remainder have yet to threaten but the newcomer The Bard's Advice is related to three winners and worth a second glance.
