Verdict

Allduckornodinner is a notable first ever Newcastle runner for Navan-based trainer Gavin Cromwell, and his 9yo could be well-treated over hurdles having demonstrated improved form of late over the larger obstacles. However, it's nigh impossible to look beyond the alluring claims of Sam England's MAGIC OF MILAN. This mare is no superstar, but is a solid stayer and she reappears quickly (without a penalty) after a comfortable win at Ayr last week. Furthermore, the perfectly capable Tom Hamilton is an eye-catching jockey booking.
