The reluctant Reblis may not be an ideal mount for an amateur and is approaching the veteran stages. The Cider Maker appears to have two ways of running but trotted up over course and distance two weeks ago and an 11lb rise in the weights is partly compensated by the booking of the experienced Mikey Legg. Colin Tizzard's stayer will take all the beating if in the same mood but WEST OF THE EDGE is a viable alternative as he also has stamina in abundance and may be ready for a return to chasing after a couple of very decent efforts over hurdles. Itoldyou was due to run yesterday at Fontwell and Major Milborne is out of sorts at present.
