Verdict
SANTANA PLESSIS (NAP) keeps finding one too good though, in his defence, he's been bumping into decent rivals so gets another chance here. The Broghie Man, a smart performer up to a mile on the Flat, finished runner-up in three maiden hurdles earlier this year but ran poorly on his return to action at Bellewstown and was well beaten on the Flat at Galway. Bourbon Borderline is dropping in trip and should be suited while Lauderdale Lady has to be considered with her allowance as she produced easily her best run to date when headed right on the line at Roscommon.
