Above Board made a winning start in a bumper at Chepstow over a year ago and is a half-brother to a winner over hurdles. But he was due to run in the last at Worcester yesterday so AINTREE MY DREAM looks the one to be on. The point-to-point winner also won a bumper at Warwick on his debut under Rules back in April. Broad Spectrum found only one too good over hurdles at Newcastle earlier this year and dual bumper winner Catching Shadows was placed over timber at Kelso last season. Late Romantic ran well enough on his hurdling bow and should be sharper for a recent comeback at Uttoxeter.
