Most of these could run around here blindfold but Ask The Guru hasn't shown much lately while Novabridge and veteran Drawnfromthepast have an absence to overcome. TEMPLE ROAD has only been raised a couple of pounds for a recent course and distance victory and there's no reason why he won't go close again from an inside draw. Pharoh Jake is back over his best trip, though was behind Black Vale over 6f here last month. Roy's Legacy led until inside the final furlong here on Saturday, when Mimi Luke was behind, but is likely to find at least a couple too good again.
