Verdict

OVER AND ABOVE appears to have two ways of running and concedes weight all round but he's back on the same mark as when only beaten a head over this trip at Newcastle in March and holds Stormion on that form. The latter has the beating of Bollin Fiona on his subsequent third at Perth but Saddlers Mot won on soft ground at Southwell before a C&D third and has to enter calculations. Royal Curtsy won at Fakenham last month and was third on the Flat at Newcastle last week so is another to consider.
