Verdict

A number of these bring potential but it's hard to side against SUGGY who created a favourable impression when making a winning return at Kempton and still looks ahead of his mark despite a 4 lb rise with that form having been well advertised since. The progressive Storm Point could emerge as the main threat on his turf debut, although a solid case can also be made for Box Clever, Slack Bob and The Stone Power in this highly competitive handicap.
