Verdict

There's little to separate WILDOMAR and Noguchi on their running here earlier this month behind Noble Silk. The former can be forgiven his latest defeat as he failed to last the 2m trip and John Ryan's charge gets another chance in this. The latter looks the main danger though Kames Park is not easily ruled out as he was always going to struggle in much better company here last time but had been in winning form before that. Brimstone Hill, Reflect and Nave have all been placed of late and capable of getting involved with similar efforts.
