They're Chancers (11/10), They Want Me (5/2), Party In The Park (9/2), Lance Les Des (15/2), Linalene (12/1), Lester Mail (20/1), Knockeranna Rose (66/1), Elemental Eye (66/1), Belvedere Bhoy (80/1), Changemyluck (200/1), Ellistrin Bay (250/1)

No match for subsequent Grade 1 winner Idaho Sun on hurdle debut last month, this could be a good opportunity for THEY WANT ME to open his hurdles account. Lance Les Des finished with running left when third over C&D on reappearance and could improve, along with Linalene who finished fourth on what was effectively his hurdles bow last time. Once-raced bumper winner They're Chancers is one to note for support for the in-form Nicky Richards yard.
