A fairly useful maiden on the Flat (at around 1¼m), PECKHAM SPRINGS showed the benefit of his hurdling debut effort when getting off the mark over 2m at Fairyhouse in December. There's room for improvement in his jumping and he promises to do better again now his sights are set on handicaps. Perry Owens, down in trip, and Zoffanien are a couple of others to consider.
