Has a bit to prove but the return to maiden company on better ground could help.

A leading player after a promising start for this stable here last month.

Has displayed promise on both hurdle starts but the drop back in trip is a slight concern.

Has displayed promise in Irish maiden hurdles and he's of interest on stable debut.

Has benefited from November wind surgery but he's probably one for the longer term.

Will need to improve for this switch to hurdles to figure but the longer trip could suit.
