Though 0-21 over hurdles, BALRANALD was only beaten half-a-length in a higher grade at Carlisle last month. Red Missile is best at Musselburgh and has been pulled up the last twice but Eloi Du Puy could figure having placed in three of five hurdle starts to date and Wearelongterm is even less exposed having only had one run so far in a handicap. Game Beaaa has had a break but may be best of the rest.
