Tizzards draw up battle plans for Fiddlerontheroof and other exciting novices

Fiddlerontheroof could head straight to Cheltenham on the back of his demolition job in the Tolworth Novices' Hurdle on Saturday, with the Tizzard team prepared to wait until the last moment to decide his festival destination.

The six-year-old left a host of exciting rivals in his wake to land the Grade 1 on going described as soft, heavy in places and the ground is likely to determine whether he runs in the Supreme or Ballymore at Cheltenham.

Joe Tizzard, assistant trainer to his father Colin, was delighted with the Tolworth success but admits it is a difficult decision deciding where to go next.
