Verdict

This is a very trappy handicap chase with most of the runners having some sort of realistic chance. ABOVE BOARD Is one of a number of horses in this race who have undergone a wind operation, and if it has worked he would have every chance of recording his fourth win from his last six outings. There are plenty of dangers, including Marquis of Carabas, Admiral's Secret and Perfect Timing, while a case can also be made for King's Lad Cona Cross, and Dark Mahler, among others.
  1. Above Board
