Just found this amongst a lot of Speedway memorabilia left by the wife's Great Aunts. Are they speedway riders or not? Is the one three from left Danny Dunton?

Yes, correct. It's 1936. The picture was taken on the Norfolk Broads. The Wembley team went away for a week's get-together on a yacht hired by Alec Jackson. It was no holiday though as the team were put through a vigorous physical training programme by their trainer, Ted Husbands, who I think is the other person in the photograph.
