A really interesting 2m handicap hurdle, which rates as the highlight of the evening. Suggestion is an unexposed sort who is open to further improvement, but the handicapper has taken aim after his rock-solid Carlisle second to the sadly ill-fated Skywards Reward. Or De Vassy is largely untested at this level but on a steady upward curve so should be on the premises for Dan Skelton, but it's impossible to overlook the thriving RANDY PIKE. He could be called the winner headed down the far-side here at the previous fixture and despite the combination of a rise in the weights, drop in trip and quicker underfoot conditions, he rates as an ultra confident choice to follow up.
