Verdict
The Best Yet is the form horse and returned to turf racing with credit at Folkestone last month. He has conditions to suit and seems to have a good chance of continuing his run of decent form. Cryfield, Lost At Sea and Diamond Decorum are others to consider if the percentages allow a number of selections to be brought into the equation.
