      Verdict

      Only five run here and we turn to EPIC ODYSSEY ahead of Blue Tomato and Legal Eagle. The selection was a winner at Kempton last time out and there is no reason why this strapping sort cannot win back in handicap company for his new connections. Blue Tomato was held behind the selection back in February and the same result looks likely here today. The eight-year-old does however already have a course and distance win earlier in the year to encourage his supporters. If all goes to plan the gelding should figure here and will be the toughest test for the selection. Legal Eagle hasn't been at his best of late.
