Neverownup is proving a real money-spinner for connections and won easily again at Newton Abbot last week, despite a 17lb rise in the weights. Maybe another penalty will prove his downfall here as TONY DINOZZO looked ready to strike again when just touched off at Fakenham at the start of the month. He has the beating of That's The Deal on that run. Friendly Society alternates between hurdles and fences and scored over the bigger obstacles at Fontwell last month but Bracken House and Marley Roca are best watched at present.
