Verdict

Ghost River has ability and this is a big drop in class from the races he was contesting earlier in the year. ABOVE BOARD, a half-brother to useful hurdler Royal Caviar, won a Chepstow bumper a year ago. He's been given plenty of time to mature and that patience can be rewarded today. Winning pointer Bridge Of Spies will be a chaser in time and may get outpaced by the bumper converts with Greyed A probably the pick of the remainder.
