Ran out on a right-handed track latest; too headstrong for comfort on this handicap debut

2nd and 1st in his two runs over hurdles; brings potential to this handicap debut

Shaped bit better than the bare result suggests when winning Southwell maiden for new yard

Competitive lately; back down in trip but looks vulnerable to some less exposed rivals
