BUSSENTO has shown improved form when runner-up on his last 2 starts, again shaping up well at Haydock a week ago, so he looks ready to open his account with cheekpieces now applied. Heading the list of dangers is Farasi Lane, who looked unlucky not to win at Windsor on his latest outing, while Letmelivemylife can also give another good account.
