Verdict
This is the best race on the card and Strongly Suggested is sure to be popular as he only had to be pushed out by Richie McLernon to get off the mark over fences at Worcester, though is now 8lb higher. Kerryhead Storm is bidding for a fourth victory in five starts so is respected while Dunowen Point is eased in grade. Ballybogey is probably better over further but was only beaten a couple of lengths at Market Rasen last month and makes more appeal than Furrows and Shooters Wood. HONOURABLE GENT (NAP) appeared to take to fences like a duck to water at Carlisle. This is tougher but Rose Dobbin's novice could be very well treated, given his potential, and can double his tally over the larger obstacles.
