Balranald (10/3), Sidi Ismael (4/1), Busy Street (9/2), Ottonian (11/2), Six One Nine (11/2), Claret Dabbler (10/1), Three Castles (12/1), Flutter Down (25/1)
This can go to Rebecca Menzies' BUSY STREET, who advertised his well-being when scoring in a pair of jumpers bumpers earlier this year and should be capable of better as a hurdler. He starts life in handicaps from a potentially lenient mark and may be tough to beat. Balranald heads up the dangers back up in trip after running up to his best here last time, ahead of Ottonian.
