Recent C&D maiden winner with likely more to offer with more fluent jumping; player

Strong at the finish on Kilbeggan hurdles debut win; longer trip here likely to suit

Didn't appear to stay 2m6f on latest; back in trip and not one to rule out on handicap bow

Not a great strike-rate hurdling; vulnerable back in a handicap

Recent form not encouraging but recent change of yard could spark a revival

0-7 hurdling; drop back in trip could suit and cheekpieces now tried
