A Perfect Day showed potential when winning a a novice hurdle here in good style on his first start under rules. A fair third on handicap debut a year later, he improved for the run and the step up to 2m7f at Lingfield next time and duly obliged. A 6lb rise looks generous and further progress is anticipated.
