Shetland Bus hasn’t run since October and is almost certainly being readied for another summer campaign. Keep Wondering isn’t badly treated but has become disappointing while Cosmic Outlaw is making his chasing bow. Betty Baloo was no match for LOUNGE LIZARD at Catterick and Henry Daly’s front-runner could take some pegging back here if jumping with the same fluency. East Street turned in a shocker when favourite here last month and has more than 20 lengths to find with Feivel.
