Above And Below is impossible to oppose in this seller with Lula and Savanagh Forest rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth in a maiden behind Palamoun last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to win this with a little in hand. Lula rates the main danger as she is bred for speed being by Tagula and will not need to be anything special to make a winning debut in this grade so she should be watched in the market. Savanagh Forest is dropping in grade and has shown a modicum of ability but the fact that her trainer Mick Quinn sends three to runners to post for this four runner affair sums it up and in a race where the market may well tell all, for the winner we return to Above And Below.
