Salsalino gets the confident vote to open his account over hurdles with Englishtown and Celtic Son rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair sort on the flat and made a pleasing debut over hurdles when second behind Say What You See. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Englishtown rates the main danger on his latest second behind Izzykeen but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and he is passed over on this occasion. Celtic Son is another worthy of respect he was given a very tender ride when fifth behind Alrafid on his debut this season and is another that is sure to improve. Of the remainder Its A Cracker is a well bred sort from a top yard and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to the more experienced Salsalino.
