Verdict

Cherry On Top is a full sister to Bumper winner Cherry Flora and attracted market support on her debut at Lingfield, though ended up well beaten in the end. She could improve but a few here make more appeal. Howard's Legacy ran well on his debut at Huntingdon and was runner-up at Towcester last month, while Ashes House won a point-to-point at Loughanmore last October and has now joined Tim Vaughan. Jeano De Toulouse is related to a winning hurdler in France but fellow newcomer OLD RUSTY CROSS makes more appeal. By Old Vic out of a Roselier mare, Nicky Henderson's six-year-old is from the same family as several decent NH performers and wouldn't need to be anything special to make a winning debut.
