Busy Street easily won a Class 5 handicap at Yarmouth but this is a big step up in grade from 7lb higher. HUGE FUTURE (NAP) was returning from a spell in Dubai when a very good second at Newmarket last month and will be ready to roll here so looks the one to be on. Star Of The East won for the fourth time this year over 1m6f at Newmarket but is probably better over that sort of trip while Temple Church has only had one run in a year and may just need this. Magellan is progressing nicely and completed a double in Class 4 handicaps over this trip at Kempton. But he's up 8lb and taking on better rivals and later entries are over longer trips.
