Verdict
Bit On The Side made mistakes when fifth at Ascot but will have learned from the experience. Who's The Boss has shown steady improvement when second here in October and has to go on the shortlist but Miss Honey Ryder had shown little prior to finishing second at Wincanton and will need to prove that was no fluke. Legends Ryde is surely better than she showed at Hexham and has undergone wind surgery since while there is likely more to come from Anightinlambourn. But Ben Pauling also runs SEASIDE GIRL and Daryl Jacob’s mount showed plenty of promise at Leicester. The switch to hurdles will suit Tequila Blaze and she is worth a market check.
