HOMAGE (NAP) ran well in what looked a tougher contest at Nottingham last time. He won in soft ground at York last term and the Haggas yard has been firing-in the winners in the last week. Ingleby Angel won a lower grade handicap at Redcar recently and is upped 7lb while Dubai Dynamo scored at Ripon on Saturday but would prefer a faster surface. Carlisle winner Get Knotted went close again with a third at this venue but Manchestar still looks high enough in the weights at present.
