Another puzzle for punters and the tentative choice is Yes One, Albert's Story and Lap Of Honour are two others worthy of respect. The John Hills trained colt made a very pleasing handicap debut when chasing home in form Graceful Steps on the turf at Lingfield. He is very lightly raced and with more improvement to come he looks the best option. Albert's Story didn't make as big an impression when fifth to Jewelled Dagger last time out. However he was well supoported and the extra couple of furlongs should suit. Lap Of Honour has been knocking on the door recently and once again he should be thereabouts. The pick of the others could be recent winner Skye But N Ben, but on this occasion we will side with the progressive Yes One.
