Recent Ballinrobe winner Your Busy was engaged at Bellewstown last night so potential punters should keep an eye out for the results as he still looks well treated. The Shepherd hasn't run since finding 3m1f much too far at Perth in September and this is more like his trip but Duers is on a career-high mark over hurdles and his most recent victories have been over fences. Seenya has won only once but is very consistent and appears to go well fresh so an absence of almost a year may not be such a problem. NOVEL INVESTMENT has hit top form for John Brassil and would have given Catskill plenty to think about at Ballinrobe if not flattening the last. He won nicely at Sligo on his previous start and looks certain to take plenty of beating.
