      Verdict

      TEMPLEHILLS was only 1lb lower when landing a Class 2 handicap at Warwick just over a year ago and he's been racing at that sort of level subsequently. He wouldn't mind more rain nor would Crosspark, though the latter was very disappointing at Leicester in February. Princeton Royale has had his share of success though he's been beaten from this sort of mark in his last three starts and maybe a few pounds high. Movie Legend does better over shorter while Monsieur Co, a winner over fences in France, hasn't done as well as expected since joining Paul Nicholls.
