Verdict

Thank You Blue won a maiden here on his hurdling debut but does have a penalty to carry. WILD SIDE OF LIFE was struggling when unseating his rider in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham but this is a much easier assignment and he probably came up against a decent mare at Wetherby previously. Kilbarry Hill has placed in both hurdle starts so far and Bangor runner-up Panhandle Slim is another to consider.
