Suggestion carries a penalty for his victory over a lone rival at Southwell as he did when completely tailed off on his next start at Market Rasen. Templenaboe won a point on very heavy ground at Ballynoe in April while Thomas Do gained an impressive victory between the flags at Belclare after which he went for £70,000 at the sales. DONNA'S DELIGHT had a run just over a year ago and reappeared with a fine run here in October. The third has won subsequently so Sandy Thomson's charge can go one better. Notnow Seamus did well to chase home a race-fit rival at Newcastle though the third has been well beaten since while Hello Fellas has a smart jumping pedigree and is one for the future.
