Formscan By Tom Weekes - TRUTH BE TOLD's trainer has won this race 24 times so his encouraging recent debut run should put him spot-on for today, and he also holds notable entries in both the Futurity and National Stakes. From a fine Moyglare family and a sizeable colt, he missed the break at Naas but finished strongly and he looks sure to improve and turn form with runner-up Viking Invasion. Better was seemingly expected of Admiral Churchill on debut at the Curragh last month (Viking Invasion finished ninth) but he nonetheless finished his race reasonably well and should improve considerably. Rock Of Cashel needs to improve from his Curragh debut but that race is working out very well.
