Made it 2-2 with easy win on hurdle debut at Newcastle and could have lots more to offer

Runner-up on both starts and he's open to improvement for his top yard; key player

Capitalised on odds-on favourite's fall to win at Newcastle; further improvement is needed

40-1 win on the Flat last time but goes hurdling in a warm race and may be best watched
