Promising start over hurdles after 19 months off when third at Musselburgh; likely player

Won at Kelso; failed to kick on when a well-held third there since; worth another chance

Remote sixth over C&D novice 20 days ago; more is needed from this son of Workforce

A fair 1m4f Flat scorer for David Menuisier but yet to fire for his current yard

Little show over hurdles for her new yard; she's hard to warm to
