Close up in both hurdle runs and he's open to more progress on handicap debut; interesting

Useful on Flat and he's 2-5 over hurdles; needs close look on first run for Dan Skelton

Ended last season with a win and was a fair third at Sandown on recent return; in the mix

Looks worth another try at this trip but he needs more progress to defy this mark
