CALLING OUT won a Class 2 handicap at Chelmsford as recently as December and is clear of today’s opposition with an official rating of 91. David Simcock’s charge won’t need to be at his best to land this claimer. Scofflaw, rated 74, is next best on today’s terms and was placed in plating company at Lingfield last week. He’s preferred to Pike Corner Cross and the latter should have the measure of the Irish duo Cash In Mind and Taylor Velvet of the remainder.
