In depth
Verdict
BROOMFIELDS JEREMY (NAP) has been steadily improving and scored with plenty in hand here last month so looks one to follow. Funky Dada won over fences here before stepping up in class and trip at Sligo and finding it tough. Winning bumper Santana Plessis has been a bit unfortunate not to have lost his maiden tag over timber by now and should make a bold bid to put matters right while the four-year-old Blackjack Boy gained plenty of admirers when landing a Listowel handicap and with his rider's claim to aid his cause looks the main threat.
