Verdict

LUMI PLUGIN surpassed his bumper form when second in a 19.2f maiden hurdle here 19 days go and with this stuffer test of stamina sure to bring out more, he could be the answer. He Knows Better upped his game in handicap company last time and that's a solid piece of form in the context of this, with An Cailin Ciuin another to consider.
