Won when upped to 2m5f for last month's handicap debut and is now 2-4 over hurdles

Strong claims if judged on autumn form but not much has gone to plan lately

Soundly beaten in hot race on handicap debut but still has potential

Wide-margin winner two starts ago; stopped quickly after racing too freely last time

Not at best on either start for Anthony Charlton this season; now with new stable

Made quite promising hurdle debut in November but has gone the wrong way since

Fourth over 2m on both hurdling starts; likely to be suited by today's longer trip
