Verdict
Suggestive has always been held in high regard and showed himself to be every bit a smart performer when bounding five lengths clear to land a York Listed contest in impressive fashion last month. The fitting of a visor has clearly worked the oracle and he now looks ready make an impact at the highest level so gets the TEAMtalk vote. Both Meshaheer (third in the Jersey Stakes) and Mugharreb (Listed winner) were below par behind an enterprisingly-ridden Atavus at Epsom recently and may reverse the form without being good enough to trouble the selection and a bigger danger may come from Binary File who showed he is on the upgrade at York last time but may find this drop in trip against him.
