      Verdict

      Strongly Suggested won at Stratford and Market Rasen last summer but then lost his way and didn't show much on his reappearance at Ludlow, though should strip fitter here. ITSUPTOYOU looked to have plenty in hand when landing a novices' handicap here earlier in the month. He's got 9lb more to carry today but could be up to the task. Barenger is probably a little flattered by recent form figures and looks high enough in the weights but still makes more appeal than Miss Tenacious and the veteran Takeroc.
