Verdict
Burbank and Alfa Mix are difficult to recommend in this and Shoeshine Boy also looks up against it but the remaining quartet appear closely matched. Castle Rushen found only one too good back over hurdles at Newcastle but SALVINO is back in the right grade and was a close second off this mark over a similar trip at Catterick in November. Grove Road is a thorough stayer but was disappointingly beaten in a match latest and Miss Milano is upped in class after completing a hat-trick at Doncaster last month in which several of the obstacles were omitted.
