Verdict
BUSSA finally returned to winning ways when landing an even lower grade handicap than this at Kempton last time. Saying that, the form happens to be working out as the runner-up scored at this track last week beating My Scat Daddy and Fairy Mist. Vale Of Lingfield has a couple of lengths to find with the selection on latest running and David Evans' charge can follow-up. Michael's Nook makes more appeal than Kaylee over today's distance while Steel City Boy is dropped in class but has only raced over further than 6f once in 115 starts and that was way back in 2008 when he was well beaten.
