Suggy

Charles Hills, based at Lambourn, has Suggy in a yard firing on all cylinders this season with 29 winners already, so the horse is getting every chance to show what he can do. Suggy's most recent win came at Wolverhampton on 31 July, eight weeks ago, and he was last out just a day ago, so he remains active and in regular racing. His recent form reads 11-4-4-1-1-8 across his last six runs, which shows movement: he placed fourth and fourth before that win at Wolverhampton, and then has had a couple of placing finishes since. Two wins in his last six races suggests a horse still finding his feet at this level but capable of producing a winning effort when the conditions are right.

One thing to note is that when Suggy has stepped up into Class 4 company — one of the tougher categories — he has come up empty, with no wins from three attempts. That tells you he likely belongs in the slightly easier races where he has built his record. At three years old, Suggy is still young enough to improve, and with the right trip and the right race, he is clearly capable of winning. Keep an eye on him at his best distances and in the lower-class races where his recent form suggests he can thrive.
