Very Noble will almost certainly improve on his racecourse debut at Taunton but will need to if he's to get the better of ACT ALONE. Nicky Henderson's gelding, a half-brother to Flat winner Relay, was a little green on debut over a similar trip at Newbury but kept on to take third place and should get off the mark here. Green King travelled strongly for a long way when third at Haydock and can chase home the selection while Seabougg was fourth here last month after racing prominently and should also have more to offer.
