NOISY BOY

Two weeks ago, this horse ran disappointingly over a Happy Valley mile, with a slow start and settling towards the rear. He maintained an even pace throughout but lacked any notable acceleration. Returning to dirt over a mile, he has failed to win in three attempts at this distance, without showing impressive times. The form hasn’t been ideal and his finishing kick was weak. Trainer-jockey combination isn't particularly strong, however, the favourable barrier draw and 10lb weight reduction offer some hope, though still considered a low probability chance.
