Readily won bumper here in March by 6l; has obvious claims on hurdling debut

Has taken quite well to hurdling, winning then third at Cartmel; should be thereabouts

Bumper winner; some promise over hurdles; not ruled out if ready to roll after a break

Third in point but hasn't shown much in two runs under rules; looks stable's second string

No immediate promise on hurdling debut at Perth and may be more of a long-term prospect

Showed a bit when fourth of five on hurdling debut; this drop back in trip is a concern
