Formscan - Having posted another creditable effort in defeat when runner-up in handicap company over 1m2f at Newcastle nine days ago, compensation could beckon for BUSBY. A return to his last winning distance should only help and the veteran looks more than capable of scoring in classified company. Fascinating Lips faces his easiest assignment for quite some time and the Canford Cliffs gelding is feared most, ahead of Foinix.
