Verdict

JIMMY HURDSTROM continued a theme of gradual progression when third in a 21f handicap at Warwick last month and has to be considered the one to beat back in maiden company. Plains Drifter has already shown in his short career that he goes well at this track and is an obvious threat.

3	Third in an Irish point and showed something like his hurdling debut form when second in 8-runner maiden over C&D (good to soft, 10/11) last month, keeping on close home. He's worth a try from the front the way he's been shaping and ought to be thereabouts again. 2nd Pick 3 Plains Drifter (Ire) Jockey: Jonathan Burke Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: Jonathan Burke T: Fergal O'brien	92	-	-	-	56%

5	Made an inauspicious start to his career when running out on debut in November but caught the eye when fifth in 2m juvenile at Wetherby in January, making late headway under considerate handling.
