Reverb is sure to be popular in this finale having only gone down by a neck on his debut at Southwell but KNIGHT OF NOIR is another for the short-list as he won a point-to-point at Avon Vale in March, showing a fine turn of foot. The latter can make a winning start under Rules and is preferred to Alan King's Ulzana's Raid, who is probably the pick of the newcomers. Heres Action Man should improve on his fourth at Market Rasen and may be best of the rest.
