      Verdict

      ABOVE THE STARS rattled up a hat-trick in low grade handicaps before coming unstuck in a claimer at Brighton last Thursday. He might be worth forgiving that lapse as this is a poor seller and Jamie Osborne's charge is well clear of his rivals on official ratings. Charles Smith's pair have managed three wins between them and Nine Before Ten should come out on top today but it's difficult to make a case for modest hurdler Lenderking or the three-year-old Index Waiter.
