Blooriedotcom (3/1), Wise Coco (3/1), Fourth Of July (7/1), Life Knowledge (15/2), Kisumu (15/2), Missesgeejay (15/2), Sunhill Lad (9/1), Old Jewry (14/1), Bobby Boucher (66/1)

A weak-looking division of this race, preference is for top weight BLOORIEDOTCOM, who has taken a while to come to hand over hurdles but showed his wellbeing with his latest effort at Kelso. On form, he is still on a relatively lenient mark. Wise Coco looks like she will be the main danger and has generally upheld her mark since her win at Perth, while the likes of the wrong at the weights Kisumu and Missesgeejay may sneak into a place from the bottom of the weights but would need significant improvement to win.
