Taking into account Angus Villiers’ 7lb claim, BUSY STREET is 5lb lower than when scoring over course and distance in April. He’s back over his best trip of 2m for the first time since a fair sixth in the Northumberland Plate consolation at Newcastle in June and is an interesting runner if fully wound up. Reshoun still has plenty to prove over this longer trip but Infrastructure did well on his first try over 2m at York and has every chance on the form book, though was behind Sovereign Duke over 1m6f at Newmarket in July. Platitude is running well while the three-year-old Ballylemon is another possibility if he lasts home.
