The Listed Noel Murless Stakes is the highlight of today's Ascot action, and it certainly rates as a very difficult puzzle to solve. Both Just Hubert (fifth) and Almania (sixth) contested the typically red-hot Melrose Handicap at York in August, with the former kicking on positively to beat a subsequent AW winner in the Edinburgh Cup at Musselburgh three weeks ago. I'll Have Another is one of two declared runners for Mark Johnston, but she simply didn't see which way the deeply impressive Monica Sheriff went at Goodwood last week. Therefore, for small stakes we'll take a chance on the stamina reserves of the steadily progressive HEREBY as she seeks a notable four-timer.
