Quite an interesting maiden hurdle with ON THE WILD SIDE taken to make a winning debut over timber. The Newland inmate has not been seen since landing a Market Rasen bumper in September - the form of which has worked out well - but rates a prospect of some note and hopefully the market will suggest he's ready to roll on this return to action. Hazzaar is an obvious danger after running a solid third of 10 at Leicester last month on debut for Venetia Williams and further progression is anticipated. Cook The Books is the other form player and should be involved, whilst hurdling debutant The Cob is also noted now the Pauling string is flourishing once again.
