Consistency is a rarity at this level but BUSSA is holding his form well and was only beaten a head at Kempton last week. He'll need to reverse earlier form with Lord Of The Dance today but is far more reliable than the latter who has been well beaten since scoring over track and trip. Nant Saeson is a bigger threat as he just got the better of the selection here last month with Abhaath back in third and they are closely matched on that running. Unlimited makes more appeal than Arabian Flight over today's distance and Buckland has a shout.
