Verdict
Having justified favouritism over C&D last time out, NOISY MUSIC could be set to follow up. A 2lb nudge up the ratings may prove to be lenient for Mick Appleby's filly and she edges the verdict over Graduated. The three-year-old arrives on the back of a string of third-placed efforts and another good account is forecast. Portsoken is open to more improvement than most and is worth a second look too.
Expert View Verdict
GRADUATED has been third on five of her last six runs, the best of which came over CD when touched off by neck and half a length off a mark of 68 in May. She's run close to that level all runs since bar last time when finding 6f at Brighton a bit too sharp. With the the step back up to 7f and on return here she stands out off a mark of 63 now and looks the most likely victor. Noisy Music has obvious claims having won over CD last time with a 2lb rise hardly off-putting and looks second best, while a chance can be given to Blue Empress having dropped down the handicap like a stone but looked close to finding her level on penultiamte run when beaten just over a length and a half over CD, and a further 2lb drop could prove enough for her to reach the frame at least. Watch out for an improved run from Rogue Dancer who hasn't tackled this trip yet but seemed to be crying out for it when weaving through traffic late at Southwell two runs back
