Verdict

Considering her bumper form, Miss Honey Ryder has been a huge disappointment so far over timber but Bit On The Side is an interesting recruit from the bumper ranks as she’s almost certain to appreciate this step up in trip. WHO’S THE BOSS (NAP) placed here and at Market Rasen before finishing a close-up fifth at Wincanton when just behind a subsequent winner - her turn may have come around today. Proper Ticket has hinted at ability but Potters Vision is returning from an absence.
