In depth
Verdict
ALLOW DALLOW has been running well over shorter trips, winning at Huntingdon in November, but he should come into his own over this distance. He can get the better of Ready Token, who is a bit more exposed over fences but has won twice up over 3m and further so can't be ignored. Take A Bow still has time on his side but hasn't raced since August and is conceding weight all round. No Through Road has ability but is hard to catch right nowadays.
