Verdict
BUSSA is hard to get away form in this. He followed up a win at Kempton with a cosy victory over C&D last week and today's penalty is halved by an apprentice's claim. Ishi won a maiden here last month but this is much tougher and the in-form Welsh Inlet makes more appeal having gone very close here on Monday after winning at Kempton. Spartic will be winning again soon off his current mark while Lady Mango has the past form to figure and the veteran Gallantry pops up in his turn.
