Plumpton Race 1

Prince Albert Brighton Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $14,760

GOLAN LOOP (5) was battling on when brought down at the second last attempting a maiden hurdle at Ascot in latest. Finished a good third over course and distance on hurdling debut in December and can get off the mark here. LOCH FRISA (6) wasn't disgraced when seventh in a Southwell jumpers flat last month. Suited by this switch to hurdling representing powerful connections. BIG BERT (1) disappointed at Warwick. Hard to ignore making hurdle debut based on his good second in a jumpers flat at Carlisle. SERIOUS CHALLENGE (7) rates next best.
