The Changing Man
THE CHANGING MAN can cap an excellent November for the Joe Tizzard yard by bagging this valuable prize. This 8-y-o has several good runner-up efforts in top handicaps and won't need to pull out much more for first-time cheekpieces. Resplendent Grey, Myretown, The Doyen Chief and Panic Attack head the many dangers in a typically strong renewal.

Coped extremely well with the demands of a big-field handicap when bounding 11 lengths clear of The Changing Man in Ultima at last season's Cheltenham Festival (25f, good to soft). 15 lb higher here but there could be plenty more to come after only 5 starts over fences.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham3m 1fGood to SoftChase1/24Kelso2m 7f 96ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/4Windsor3m 53ySoft (Good to Soft in places)ChaseF/6Wetherby2m 3f 85yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/3Newbury2m 92yGood to SoftChase5/10- 7Resplendent GreyJ: Sean BowenT: Olly Murphy22441-1Age 715/215/28/1

Grade 2 novice win at Ascot in between excellent runner-up efforts in Great Yorkshire at Doncaster (to Annual Invictus) and Ultima at Cheltenham (beaten 11 lengths by Myretown).

Much improved since sent chasing, winning first 3 times last season, including a valuable handicap at Kempton (3m, soft) in February.
