A well versed 6 year old for William Knight, Sir Busker started his career with an average juvenile season where he only managed to win once in five outings.
A season in handicaps followed which saw him gain some success at a low level before really making his mark in the handicap ranks when winning the Silver Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot in 2020. The raise in the weights saw him unable to stay competitive in handicaps and not quite good enough to make a mark in group races.
Last season saw much of the same. Listed and group level seemed too taxing of his abilities and a mark of over 110 made handicapping near impossible. This season he’s been kept at a relatively high level but has failed to really get involved.
He tries a longer trip here for the first time and it will need to draw out some improvement for him to win his first group race.
