      Verdict

      Above went close to defying a penalty when beaten only a neck at Chepstow last time and steps up in distance for this. But SAINT OF KATOWICE finished well clear of the rest when runner-up to the progressive Thunderous over today’s trip at Redcar and Richard Fahey’s colt is taken to go one better. Magic Timing is preferred Harswell Approach as he also steps up in distance while the newcomer Um Elnadim is worth a second glance for Mark Johnston’s yard.
