A case can be made for a number of these but there was plenty to like about the return of Secrete Stream in the autumn and he gets the vote. His patient connections have given him plenty of time before bringing him out again and despite top weight he can continue to progress. Last year's winner One For Harry again looks to be short-list material, though it is unlikely that he will get his ideal conditions. Applesandpierres may not have beaten much last time, but his talented trainer has him going the right way again and he is not ruled out, while both Capitoul and Bruce Almighty merit respect. 1.
