Verdict

Sackett had been pulled up in all three starts this season before landing a Class 5 at Fakenham. Black Buble looks as though he’s fallen out of love with the game and Legend Of Zorro also has a lot to prove at present so this can go to FINALSHOT, who has yet to reproduce his hurdles form over fences but might enjoy this quick surface.
