Verdict
THE CIDER MAKER's latest second at Chepstow came in a better race that this. Colin Tizzard's gelding is making steady progress and can open his account in an uninspiring novices' handicap in which few arrive in any sort of form. Dazzling Rita is only a pound higher than when scoring over a similar trip at Stratford last summer and is a danger while Harriet's Ark was third last time at Fakenham. Hi Bronco was second at Stratford two weeks ago but Exeter fourth Brave Deed looks the pick of the remainder.
