The Verdict

Boreham Wood are the surprise package in the National League, priced as highly as 200/1 to win it pre-season. Luke Garrard's side have been excellent and look good value for their lead at the top. However, I feel York will stay the course. They have a side littered with promotion experience and have goals in abundance with Ollie Pearce and Josh Stones.
