Off The Jury
An interesting maiden. CRYSTAL ISLAND saw off a recent Wincanton bumper runner-up when winning his Irish point in the spring and is selected to make a winning start to his hurdle career for new connections, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Big Ticket, Off The Jury and Gaelic Pride are all pretty useful and should be on the premises, while Ben Pauling's Dig Deep looks capable of better again.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Big Ticket should still be served best by being ridden prominently: Despite a suspicion the pace will be sound, those held up such as Off The Jury usually is are still likely to have their work cut out.
Individual Price Hint: Off The Jury traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 25% or less of Betfair SP twice on 3 of its last 5 starts: West Hill Verde traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP 3 times and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 4 of its last 4 starts.
