Form & Verdict
Finished seventh in both starts for Charlie Appleby (6f, good) at top tracks last year; makes his stable debut after 257 days off (gelded in the meantime) having been picked up for 35,000gns in October; pedigree suggests he may be capable of better and although handicaps are an option after this, he may be the one to chase Snuggle home.

Form & Verdict
Form has an up and down look to it but his two second-place finishes, especially his latest short-head defeat by an in-form rival on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack; first start since being gelded), is well in advance of anything these rivals have achieved; won't find many easier opportunities to get off the mark.

From a good family but he's looked poor on the AW to date, failing to make the frame after seven starts; the switch to turf, minus the tongue-tie, back from an 11-week break, needs to be a difference maker.
