      Verdict

      Plenty with claims but BUSBY has won two of his last three outings having scored at Kempton last time and gets the vote in his current frame of mind. Ginger Fox won over 6f before finding only one too good at Wolverhampton when ahead of Self Assessment while Tomily won a claimer over course and distance in October and this isn’t much tougher. Revolutionise has been racing over 6f but stays this far and is another to consider in an open contest.
