WALLAROO was a beaten favourite in a claimer at Lingfield but the handicapper has taken action and allowed him to dip just below the ceiling for this handicap. Simon Hodgson doesn't have a great strike-rate at Southwell but it’s not hard to envisage Lingfield winner Janus taking a hand if he takes to the Tapeta. Sociologist could still be well treated on the pick of his earlier form while Thermal makes a first start for Kevin Frost having recently left Gary Moore. The bookies will be wary of Dream Point given connections and Shane Kelly inevitably rates as an eyecatching jockey booking.
