        Verdict

        TRUE HERO included Arzaak among his victims when scoring over track and trip for the second time this year and followed that success with a more recent victory at Newcastle. He looks worth sticking with given Pull Harder Con failed in his bid for a hat-trick back in December and has been gelded since. Several debut on the Fibresand with Stars In The Night less exposed than both Wade's Magic and Somewhere Secret, though Quanah has won on soft ground on Turf and could also go well.
