LOOK BUSY is best in at the weights here and is taken to get back to winning ways, with Kaldoun Kingdom an obvious contender and Fitz Flyer perhaps next best. The Alan Berry-trained pick won last year's Temple Stakes and although comfortably beaten in this year's renewal of that event last Saturday, she will be better for a couple of recent efforts and should find this easier, with the mare's allowance a big plus. Kaldoun Kingdom is not underestimated despite having to find 7lbs with the selection at these weights. Richard Fahey can do little wrong this campaign and his improving gelding is feared, although the ground may be too quick for him. Fitz Flyer won't mind conditions and comes from another yard going well, and this stiffish minimum trip should suit, so watch the market for clues to any stable confidence. Masta Plasta looks best of the rest given the trip today, though Look Busy can come good once more.
