BY YOUR SIDE thrived over hurdles towards the end of last season and remains of plenty of interest having only just lost out in a big field at Punchestown in April. Three-time C&D winner Willyouwalkwithme is set for another big run having shaped well on his comeback here last month, while Cirque Royal can make his presence felt if ready to go.
