In depth
Verdict
Most are fully exposed over fences with Over And Above a possible exception. He was only a length and a half behind Solway Dornal last time at Cartmel and could have more to offer over the larger obstacles. BOROLEE has been an improved performer over his last three runs for a yard that has moved rather belatedly into good form and he gets on well with his conditional pilot, whose claim could make the difference here. A solid stayer, he may well reverse placings on these terms with Minstalad who emerged a length and a half superior to the selection when the pair clashed at Kelso. Tisfreetdream has place claims.
