Temple Road beat Roy's Legacy and Pharoh Jake with Frank The Barber and Ask The Guru further behind over track and trip at the end of last month and has claims on that form. But LADY NAYEF won a higher grade sprint at Southwell recently having scored at Newcastle before that. She’s taken to shrug off a penalty and go in again. Excellent Aim’s best effort of late came on the Fibresand at Southwell while Quality Art slips further down the weights as he bids to end a long losing run.
