Verdict
Suggestion only had one rival at Southwell in August yet still has to carry a penalty. Instant Replay and Tree Of Liberty are converts from the point-to-point circuit but Louis' Vac Pouch was third at Wincanton in April and his trainer saddled last year's winner. Flying Solo's dam was second in a hurdle here while Boreham Bill is a half-brother to a hurdle and chase winner. BANDSMAN looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account as he ran well here last month when beaten under a length by a subsequent easy hurdles winner.
