Shanroe In Milan has the highest rating of the three who have already been allotted a handicap mark but has disappointed on a few occasions and we prefer FRONT AT THE LAST. He would be the form pick on his second to Two Taffs at Carlisle back in October, though hasn’t really built on that effort. Work Du Breteau is looking thoroughly exposed and none of the other trio have looked like sure-fire future winners in their runs so far.
