NOISY MUSIC has progressed with each run and looks on a fair mark now setting out in handicaps after a stable switch. Macarone ended his juvenile campaign well and shaped as if retaining all his ability at Pontefract on his return, so is shortlisted alongside Bestie, who ran well to make the frame here last month.
