Southwell bumper win on British/yard debut in June; longer trip a plus switched to hurdles

Thriving in low-grade handicaps at up to 1m4f of late; not without interest over hurdles

Much better switched to hurdles at Stratford, but fading effort at Newton Abbot this week

Fourth on handicap debut latest (2m, good to soft), weakening late; further to travel here

Beaten a long way out over 2m7f on hurdles debut; drop to today's sort of trip makes sense

Fifth on recent bumper debut; reason to believe he could offer more switched to hurdles

Beaten 31l+ in two bumpers and a hurdle (2m4f); is still likeliest one for chasing later

0-11 on the Flat (over 1m latterly); switch to hurdling needs to prove transformative
