Verdict
Dalaki never figured on his hurdling debut at Doncaster but won a Fakenham maiden by 18 lengths on his second start, though the standard of the opposition left a bit to be desired. In receipt of 7lb, Lucy Wadham's mare SUNSHINE CORNER (NAP) should have his measure as she won at Lingfield last month and was then second in a Listed event at Haydock behind a useful novice. Red Orator may be better than he's shown so far and looks the pick of his stable's two runners but Cougar Kid and Mount Shamsan may profit from a switch to handicaps.
