INTHEWATERSIDE is undoubtedly a chaser of the future, but he resumed his progress in determined fashion on his handicap debut at Lingfield last month and can go on improving for a while yet over hurdles, so could well be up to defying a double penalty. Bucksy des Epeires got no further than the first in the race won by the selection at Lingfield and still likely has a bigger performance in him, while Vincenzo stuck to his task admirably at Warwick and is also feared in an intriguing novice.
