Verdict

This three-runner affair can go to Drift Away, who might be able to get the better of Your Advantage. Your Advantage is now rated 17 pounds higher than when scoring at Warwick in March and, much as he clearly has ability, has been disappointing in his last two runs, on both occasions when attracting money. He has to be considered, though, as he faces just two opponents. These are Irish raider Drift Away, who scored in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal in November, and Volcano Snow, who has been placed in three of his nine career starts but has yet to score. Given that the assessor has rated Drift Away's win at around the 94 mark and he is receiving eight pounds plus his rider's seven-pound allowance form Your Advantage, whose winning mark was 94 when he scored at Warwick, then it might pay to side with the Irish raider.
