ANCIENT TRUTH looked a good prospect when making a successful start over 6f on the other course here, beating a couple of subsequent winners, and he's sure to improve over this longer trip so can defy a penalty. Invited made a promising start at Newbury last week and is sure to progress also. Hidden Secret, a stablemate of the selection, and Royal Alliance are interesting newcomers.
