Charlie Appleby's yard continues to fire in the winners and HONOURABLE ACTION (NAP) can add his name to the list by taking this. He wasn't beaten far when fourth at Chelmsford last time and is just preferred to Simple Verse. The latter is likely to have improved for a recent modest debut at Lingfield while Ya Hade Ye Delil made a promising start at Goodwood back in September. Aussie Andre and Bari are others with scope and preferred to the more exposed types Galuppi and Pisces.
