Verdict

The lightly raced Bustan has quickly developed in to a smart middle distance performer and is the TEAMtalk selection to take advantage of a drop in grade. Marcus Tregoning's charge has run creditably in Group 2 company of late having won his first two starts including in Listed company and should be able to confirm Great Voltigeur placings with Frankies Dream on identical terms. Legal Approach lost his unbeaten status at Windsor last time when a disappointing odds-on shot and may prefer easier conditions while Rapscallion has something to prove having been absent since flopping in the 2,000 Guineas on his comeback in May.
