Buckle Street was never in contention at Cheltenham last month but stayed on in the closing stages. TEMPLEROSS is 3lb lower than when third in this last year and finished ahead of subsequent Leicester scorer Malapie at Warwick last month. He could be the value today as though Pop Rockstar won twice upped to this trip in December, his yard is not in the best of form at present and he’s shot up the weights. Ballyheigue Bay has more to do than when successful at Plumpton but Hatchet Jack has place prospects again having finished fifth over track and trip before his second at Wincanton.
