Official ratings are on the side of TRUE VERDICT, who has never come anywhere near to replicating her close second to dual Group 1 winner Sky Lantern at Naas in June but should still be too good for these rivals. Wexford Opera was in front of her on her reappearance at the Curragh but had the benefit of a previous run and was beaten at Naas on Wednesday. Cottrell was behind the pair of them at the Curragh and looks held but City Of Culture made a belated racecourse debut over the minimum trip at Tipperary earlier this month and stayed on strongly so she can get involved.
