Secret Santa and French Affair probably ran to a similar level on debut and both are respected with that experience under their belts, but there are a number of interesting newcomers here and WORDS OF TRUTH might prove the one. Charlie Appleby is often the go-to man in these juvenile races and his representative in this contest is certainly bred to have plenty of ability, being a half-brother to last year's Superlative Stakes winner Ancient Truth. Title Role cost 500,000gns at the recent Breeze-Ups and is worth a market check at the very least, along with Morris Dancer and Commander's Intent. |
Not much form to go on with the Richard Hannon pair setting the standard. French Affair is likely to do best of those having finished well over 5f on fast ground in a decent race on debut. He may however be vulnerable to a talented newcomer of which there could be a few here. The well bred Title Role cost half a million and is worth checking in the betting but it is WORDS OF TRUTH who appeals most. He is a half brother to the 2024 Superlative winner for these connections and should be able to make a winning start |

Not much form to go on with the Richard Hannon pair setting the standard. French Affair is likely to do best of those having finished well over 5f on fast ground in a decent race on debut. He may however be vulnerable to a talented newcomer of which there could be a few here. The well bred Title Role cost half a million and is worth checking in the betting but it is WORDS OF TRUTH who appeals most. He is a half brother to the 2024 Superlative winner for these connections and should be able to make a winning start |

Secret Santa and French Affair probably ran to a similar level on debut and both are respected with that experience under their belts, but there are a number of interesting newcomers here and WORDS OF TRUTH might prove the one. Charlie Appleby is often the go-to man in these juvenile races and his representative in this contest is certainly bred to have plenty of ability, being a half-brother to last year's Superlative Stakes winner Ancient Truth. Title Role cost 500,000gns at the recent Breeze-Ups and is worth a market check at the very least, along with Morris Dancer and Commander's Intent. |
