      Verdict

      Bussel, Intersky Sports and Racing Times are the three to look at here in this small field, and Bussel, who has won two of his three starts, is taken to maintain his winning form. Intersky Sports lost his maiden tag last time in a nursery, showing gameness inside the final furlong to win narrowly. He is thoroughly exposed though and although in receipt of weight from his principal rivals he is passed over. Racing Times has been running in decent class affairs and has shown ability in handicap company. He is taking a drop in class here and a reproduction of his effort two outings ago when a close second would see him go close. Winner of a Kempton maiden and a similar claimer over this course and distance last time, Bussel has shown progressive form in his brief career to date and looks capable of completing the hat trick. Bussel is the selection.
