LA BELLA VIDA, twice a winner over hurdles, looks like making an even better chaser judged on her victory at Thurles where she jumped well and stayed on strongly. She can complete a double though Babbling Stream won a bumper and a maiden hurdle and, though showing only moderate form in two starts over fences, is the type to show further progress, Blast Of Koeman made a promising debut over fences at Cork and is certain to improve but Robin Des Mana has been disappointing so far. Fit To Be Tied looked a nice prospect for chasing after landing a maiden hurdle at Limerick in March but the owner's Uaintseenothingyet looks as though he'll be better suited by further.
