Hardly any of these arrive in form and the market could provide a good guide. The veteran OOR JOCK has been running well on Turf without winning and though he has never scored in 15 all-weather starts he's been placed several times and this could be his day. Secret Path looks a threat as she hasn't had much experience and hasn't been beaten far in similar events in recent weeks but Chillie Billie has now had 25 starts on the all-weather without winning and is difficult to side with. Busy Bush hasn't been placed in five starts here but won at Listowel in June from a higher mark than this and can't get much lower in the ratings.
