Verdict

Homer had useful form on the Flat in France but appears to be one of Nicky Henderson’s lesser lights. However, he did win a conditionals’ handicap at Kempton when starting favourite and is only 5lb higher here. Ashutor has been raised the same amount for winning a Catterick maiden and he’s already been beaten in three handicaps but Escapability remains open to plenty of improvement and makes more appeal than stablemate Nebuchadnezzar. Eskendash and MOVIE LEGEND are probably better known as chasers nowadays but the latter can race off a 7lb lower mark back over hurdles, less Maxime Tissier’s claim. The 10-year-old has plenty of winning form around here and it would be no surprise to see him go close. Imperil won a maiden here in January on his first start for the yard but this is a lot more competitive.
