BEST LIFE improved steadily in a handful of hurdle outings as a novice, posting his best effort yet when runner-up on handicap debut at Haydock in the spring. Appealing as the type to progress further this winter, he's given the nod to go one place better on return. Copshill Lad and Spring Gale are a couple of others to consider, whilst market confidence behind Rubies or Gold, upped further in trip/equipped with cheekpieces would also look significant.
