Verdict
This is tougher than the race Navajo Star won at Lingfield with Alabaster back in third and the former has been raised 5lb. Busy Street scored over today’s trip at Newcastle in January and has placed in both subsequent starts while Technological won over 1m3f here last month and finished runner-up over 1m6f last time. ULSTER was beaten only a head over the latter distance at Wolverhampton recently having completed a double over 1m4f here earlier and, with this longer trip expected to suit, Archie Watson’s grey is fancied to return to winning ways.
