Nothing to shout about over hurdles but now handicapped accordingly

Smidgeons of promise and should raise his game in handicaps

Two front-running wins but it could be harder to dominate this bigger field

Hasn't built on a fair first run for this yard and has enough to prove on balance

Poor so far and he's a long way out of the weights on this handicap debut
