4/6
Perfect start when taking 6f novice on the Rowley course here and confirmed that he's an excellent prospect when following up in a C&D novice three weeks ago. More to come and track experience can be put to good use, so he's the one to beat.

Edged ahead when justifying support in novice at Ripon and was back on track when touched off in a listed event at Deauville 6 days ago. Probably out of his depth in this, however.

Impressive Chester winner before a much-improved when edged out (third) in a tight finish in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. Big player if he gets the longer trip.

Scored at Ripon on debut and supplemented it with a solid performance to double his tally at Carlisle a week ago. Longer trip should pose no problem and he can do better still.

Confirmed debut promise when opening his account at Haydock last month, going away at the finish. Others have achieved more to this point but he hasn't reached his limit.

Out of a winner and made the ideal start when landing a novice at Kempton with something in hand in May. Open to improvement but might find this a bit too much too soon.

Forecasts

Ancient Truth (4/6), Seagulls Eleven (5/1), Line Of Force (5/1), The Parthenon (5/1), Pentle Bay (8/1), Columnist (9/1), Wimbledon Hawkeye (20/1), Pap's Turf (33/1), Assertively (40/1)

Verdict

ANCIENT TRUTH steps into Group company for the first time but he's looked talented and genuine to this point, while his track experience is a big plus, so he's worth siding with over The Parthenon, who remains with plenty of potential. Coventry-third Columnist is also a big player for all he's not bound to relish the step up to 7f based on pedigree.
