Colin Tizzard’s charge should have a bright future and can foil Bryony Frost’s bid for a hat-trick in the Badger Beers Chase
Present Man gets the good ground he loves as he seeks a hat-trick in the Badger Beers Silver Trophy at Wincanton under Bryony Frost. They should fare well again but giving weight to the younger White Moon (3.35) is a lot to ask.
There were more lows than highs to the grey’s novice season and he managed to trip himself up on his reappearance, but Colin Tizzard’s charge should have a bright future in this sort of contest. The excellent Robbie Power must hope this is the first time they manage to avoid falling after two previous outings together. The Young Master also relishes this sort of surface and should go well in a race he won five years ago; alas, he was ineligible that day and was later disqualified. Royal Vacation gives Tizzard a strong hand and this ground may suit better than the Chepstow mud that tired him last month.
