2-2 over fences after last month's clearcut course win; could easily have more to offer

Came good over fences here on seasonal debut (front pair clear); 5lb rise looks manageable

2lb out of the weights today but ran well behind an unexposed one here two months ago

3-6 over hurdles; half-brother to a high-class chaser; interesting on debut over fences
