    Verdict

    Another True Story is the pick over Abunai, Black Moma and Supreme Speedster in the nursery. Richard Hannon has two bites at the cherry here, with Black Moma and Another True Story, and preference is just for the latter who opened his account in fine style at Windsor last month. Never sighted on his Sandown debut earlier, he won easing down at the Berkshire track, a performance that was not unexpected given the whispers for him beforehand. With plenty more to come, he can get the better of stablemate Black Moma. The latter did not beat much when narrowly getting the better of three rivals at Leicester, but obviously has the scope to progress. Abunai battled her way to victory in a Bath maiden, and as she is not that big, would not want to carry too much weight. With that in mind, her burden here of 8st 8lb is not off-putting, and she has to be considered. Supreme Speedster has topweight though and will need to step up a gear, with the vote going to Another True Story, providing that she can handle the cut in the ground.
