Verdict

STATE OF NIRVANA can get the change of luck she so richly deserves here following four similar efforts over hurdles so far having been in the mix on every start including a second of 18 beaten a short head here last month. Bensachuine showed plenty of improvement at Ballinrobe last month and can continue his progress here along with the Gordon Elliott-trained Boot Camp on hurdling debut.
