        always behind

        In depth

        Verdict

        BURFORD BROWN only won a maiden at Newcastle but the third is rated 77 and it was a long way back to the rest. That may be good enough form to land this now back handicapping. Mamillius has been thereabouts since winning at Brighton back in May and can race off the same mark today while Areen Heart has slipped back down the weights since scoring at Leicester in June. Saluti may do better today down in class for this and is preferred to Zalshah.
