Under The Phone is penalised for winning over a longer trip here but drops down a grade and should go well again. Brother Scott has been thereabouts since winning at Hexham but remains 8lb higher while Frizzo was placed yet again at Doncaster last time, though a conditional's 10lb allowance helps his cause today. ALLOW DALLOW ran well for third at Southwell last month and the handicapper has given him a chance dropping him 2lb - he may prove good enough off top weight for Jonjo O'Neill's in-form yard. Chankillo and Money For Nothing were both placed at Southwell on their respective latest starts but are upped in class for this.
