Buckle Street is worth monitoring in the market off his featherweight given his improvement over hurdles during the winter. Cotton Club scored well here over a trip which looked short of his best. He should be even more effective today and his stable are in tremendous form. This looks a better race and preference is for STERNRUBIN. Philip Hobbs' charge should find this shorter trip more within his range having failed to get home over 2m at Goodwood last time when making the running. His hurdling mark suggests he remains leniently treated on the Flat despite his reassessment following his Windsor victory.
