Verdict
Il Re Di Nessuno is difficult to recommend but Rhebus Road showed a good turn of foot to beat the odds-on Saligo Bay at Huntingdon, though the third has been well beaten since. Oslo landed the odds in a maiden at Market Rasen at the start of the month but failed to do the same in a three-runner race at Fakenham on Sunday and KEROSINE LIGHT is preferred after making an impressive debut for Donald McCain at Bangor.
