Verdict
BUTE STREET won over course and distance here with Suor Angelica in third and Princess Flame in fourth last time out. He is penalised for that win but we side with the Ron Hodges' in-form option. Green Energy could be the main danger after a very narrow win at Brighton but could struggle without the advantage he had in the weights last time. It's A Deal looks favourable in the weights this time but has failed to impress recently and is best watched.
