Verdict
Suspect should have learned plenty from his run behind African Broadway at Newbury and is probably the pick of those with previous experience but this may well go to one of several nicely-bred newcomers. Given Nicky Henderson's record in this type of race Sizing India, a half-brother to several winning chasers, is sure to be popular while Warren Greatrex's Buddy Bolero is a full brother to the smart Fingeronthepulse. But let's take a chance that Victor Dartnall will have MR HOOPER fully primed for his debut. The Karinga Bay gelding is a full brother to bumper winners Earl's Kitchen and Countess Point and his stable has been firing in the winners of late.
