Verdict

True To Yourself ran well enough last time to make him a leading contender here and he gets the vote ahead of Bretton and Bunino Ven. The selection showed improved form to finish second behind Secret Bloom on this track, and with the step up in trip unlikely to inconvenience him he is put forward as the one to beat. Bretton is from a yard that does well here and he is dropped in grade, so if the market vibes are positive then it could pay to take the hint. Bunino Ven was disappointing last time and failed to settle but he is capable of better than that so can't be entirely ruled out. Middleham Rose has shown a fair level of form, but like Bunino Ven, he will have to improve to trouble our selection, True To Yourself.
