      In depth

      Verdict

      PRIMERO was beaten only a neck in this grade over 1m4f at Lingfield last time. Ryan Moore’s presence suggests he’s expected to stay this longer trip and David O’Meara’s charge is just preferred to Lucky Deal. The latter found only one too good at Kempton on his first attempt at 2m and makes more appeal than Newcastle winner Busy Street, who was beaten off today’s higher mark at Southwell a week ago. Azari is best on the Fibresand and Alabaster has struggled since returning from a long lay-off.
