Verdict
It’s less than a year since SIDESHIFT was finishing third behind the smart Jeff Kidder in Ireland. He is surely much better than he’s shown so far for Jonjo O’Neill and this won’t take much winning. Good Bye is 0-10 over hurdles but may improve for wind surgery and winning chaser Gaia Vallis was second at Fontwell back over hurdles last month but Let's Get Real has yet to show much in the way of ability since going jumping. Salamanca School may be best of the rest.
