NOGUCHI won a claimer over track and trip earlier this month and gets a token vote. He has something to find on these terms with Astra Hall but the latter remains steadfastly out of sorts and Uphold looks a bigger threat dropping down in class. Rainford Glory was placed at Ayr under today's rider but has a stiff task at the weights while though Scribe should have come on for a recent comeback he is 6b higher than when winning Bath last summer.
