BOSTON JURY progressed in three maiden hurdles last summer prior to unseating rider at the start in a Downpatrick novice when last seen in September. Provided he avoids such a misdemeanor here, the 5-y-o may well prove equal to the task on this handicap debut with the strong possibility of better to come. Back hurdling off an attractive mark, Spinning Web has to be feared, while Westernersunrise merits respect, too, along with potential improvers Derby Rock and Weather Alert.
