Forecasts

Lucky Deal (6/4), Busy Street (5/2), Primero (4/1), Alabaster (8/1), Azari (12/1)

Despite just a quintet of runners this is a complex little puzzle although it might not be enough of a test for Lucky Deal who stays this trip well but needs a strong pace to run at. Primero is unproven over 2m but he looks as though he will stay this far and ran a sound race last year but BUSY STREET is given the vote having been very consistent of late over this trip. He should cope with the surface (first try on it) and can continue his recent progress.
