    Verdict

    Noguchi is the only one of these to have raced so far this year but does his winning in plating company nowadays. Haines ended last year on the up with a double over 2m at Kempton and Shades Of Silver scored over 1m4f at the same track back in September. THE QUARTERJACK landed a double last year and has changed yards since last seen at the track. Only 1lb higher than when winning a tougher race over today's trip at Salisbury in May, he should go close with a similar effort.
