In depth

Verdict

Got Your Back has placed in a point, a bumper and a hurdle and shouldn’t be far away again but HEART ABOVE had stronger bumper form and could be the one to beat if taking to hurdles. Fiveafterfour is surely better than she showed at Kelso but Valleyview Tommy looks a bigger danger on his third at the same track on his debut under Rules.
