The winning run of BUSSA came to an end when dropped back to 6f last time. However he only missed out by a head and back over today's trip, he can return to winning ways. Bassett Road is also in fine form and attempts to follow-up his recent victory over track and trip under a penalty but Abhaath's recent placed efforts have been in plating company and Beachwood Bay's latest second came on the Fibresand at Southwell back in July. Boy The Bell and Kai were both successful here on their latest outings and the former makes more appeal as he's still well handicapped compared to his best form.
