Placed in 2 bumpers for Sam Thomas 11 months apart and off a further 10 months before making a winning start over hurdles for new stable at this course (17f, soft) 47 days ago, asserting run-in. Has clearly had his fair share of problems so it remains to be seen if he builds on that.

Placed on the last of 3 starts in Irish points (Apr 30) but was reported to have a breathing problem when well held on his Rules debut at Carlisle in November. Fitted with a first-time tongue strap and can only be watched at present.

5/2
Runner-up twice from 5 starts in Irish points and shaped well sent hurdling under demanding conditions when third of 17 at Warwick (2m) in November. Similar form upped in trip when second at Bangor since and ought to be thereabouts again under a rider able to claim 10 lb. Tongue tied.

Finished in the frame in a couple of above-average bumpers and again showed a fair bit of ability sent over hurdles when second of 8 in a Bangor novice (16.6f, heavy) 24 days ago. Open to improvement.

9/4
Easily opened his account in Irish points at third attempt in April and made a promising start to his Rules career when beaten only by a promising mare at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) in early November. Departed before the race began in earnest in Cheltenham Grade 2 last time and remains open to progress.

Just poor form at best in a trio of bumpers so easily passed over on hurdle debut.

Forecasts

Wild Side Of Life (9/4), Kilbarry Hill (5/2), Panhandle Slim (11/4), Thank You Blue (10/3), Imperial Rule (50/1), Wotyoudunnow Buddy (50/1), Nearly Wed (50/1), Flexi Lady (150/1)

Verdict

WILD SIDE OF LIFE shaped well behind a promising mare on her Rules debut at Wetherby prior to departing before the race truly began to develop at Cheltenham last time, so he's very much the one to beat back in calmer waters. Kilbarry Hill has the services of the yard's 10 lb conditional, who opened his account on Friday, and is feared most ahead of Panhandle Slim.
