      Verdict

      NOBLE TRUTH (NAP) is clear at the weights having won a Listed race at Doncaster before going close in the testing ground in Group 1 company at Longchamp. Hoo Ya Mal wasn’t far behind the selection at Doncaster, however, while course and distance winner Dubai Poet drops back down in trip after placing in a Group 3 at Newmarket. Cresta also came up short in Group 3 company last time with Light Infantry preferred to Tacarib Bay and Red Vineyard of the winning debutants.
