Bialystok is the most exposed of these and was very disappointing when only third of four at Listowel. Paul Townend chooses him over Arctic Fly, unbeaten in two starts over timber and four lengths to the good over subsequent winner Sherodan in a Galway Listed event when another from the yard, Williamstowndancer, was well beaten. Granville Street will find this much tougher than the Kilbeggan maiden he won on his debut but the mare BIRDIE OR BUST was very impressive when landing a maiden here back in May and with her allowance a bonus can take this. Samui has also won here and landed a Listowel Listed event last month so isn't out of this.
