Loud Noise finished fifth to Missile Thunder in a 950 metre Open Handicap at Cairns on Tuesday and Trevor has declared he’ll back-up at Gordonvale.

“He’s been very consistent and he’s as honest as the sun comes up each day, but unfortunately, he isn’t eligible as he hasn’t met the five country meetings guidelines in the past 12 months,” Trevor said.

“He’s a nice old horse and is sound as a bell and he only started on Tuesday because he needed racing.”

The nine-year-old Loud Noise has travelled down to Brisbane twice in the past.
