Cockney Beau probably ran better than expected when fourth at Wetherby but Busy Street is having a first run for a new yard having been well beaten on the Flat since his third at Fontwell. Lord Torranaga and Black Kraken both failed to cope with penalties last time and again carry 7lb extra so it doesn’t look worth opposing MINELLA DRAMA (NAP). Donald McCain has a few decent novices in his yard this season and this son of Flemensfirth had his Bangor second franked when the winner landed a Listed race at Haydock on Saturday.
