Verdict
None of these arrive in the best of form but Shetland Bus is visored after pulling up over a much longer trip at Fakenham. Dalkingstown goes well here but Aviewtosea may be in the handicapper’s grip now. KAKAMORA was tailed off when favourite at Ludlow last month but that clearly wasn’t his form so he gets a tentative vote.
