Winning Smut (7/4), Yoradreamer (15/8), Jacovec Cavern (6/1), Annaghbeg (9/1), Colvin (10/1), Western Ability (18/1), Mavetherave (22/1), Bubba Yeats (25/1), Bounce Of The Ball (28/1), Bridies Bell (66/1), Cordal Boy (125/1), Drop The Dip (150/1), Kalgoorlie Gold (250/1), Tedworth (250/1), Merry Martine (250/1)

WINNING SMUT made up into a fairly useful hurdler for Michael Hourigan and can make a successful start for his new yard. Yoradreamer, Jacovec Cavern, who was arguably unlucky last time, and Colvin are dangers.
