    Verdict

    Very Very Noble is the pick in the day's feature race on Town Moor, with Kick For Touch, Gottabe and Cassia Heights taken to give him most to do. Alex Hales produced a tremendous training performance when sending out Very Very Noble to defy a 717-day absence at Folkestone in December, the son of Aristocracy making all the running at the Kent track to hold the favourite Lord Halfnothin at bay. With that run under his belt, the 10-year-old will be fancied to repeat the feat under Tony McCoy who sits on him for the first time since the combination finished third to Windross at Newbury in 2001. Henrietta Knight was in form at the weekend and Kick For Touch will have his supporters as well. He won twice on decent ground last spring and connections have been waiting for a similar opportunity. He is set to be a leading player, while Gottabe, Cassia Heights and Benrajah make most appeal of those further down the weights. Last year's winner Robbo has to carry topweight but with Andrew Thornton on board, you cannot rule him out of a say in the finish. However, we fancy Very Very Noble to continue to make up for lost time by making all again.
