Fairly useful form when placed on first 3 starts, including when runner-up in 12f maiden here in October. Sent handicapping on return and must enter calculations.

Posted career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 10 days ago. 10 lb higher now but appeals as the type who can progress further.

Below form when last seen at York in October but won a pair of handicaps last summer and hails from a yard in good form.

Dual winner (at up to 11.5f) last season but campaign ended rather tamely and others appeal more.

Yet to trouble the judge in half a dozen starts for this yard and makes limited appeal.

Yet to trouble the judge on Flat or over hurdles for current yard and is hard to recommend.

Verdict

BUSTAAM had plenty in hand when scoring at Doncaster last month and is taken to follow up. Destinado and Lord Melbourne are feared most.
