Suit must rise to Challenge to earn BC place

FUTURE Champions’ Day at Newmarket begins with the Group 2 Challenge Stakes, in which Richard Hannon’s Strong Suit can make a winning return after a break of a couple of months.

I’m not all that keen on tipping up short priced runners but I really feel that the three-year-old will outclass his rivals here.

Hannon has the Breeders’ Cup as the horse’s ultimate target for the season but he really has no business sending the colt across the Atlantic if he cannot beat today’s opposition.
