Verdict

A rejuvenated TEMPLE ROAD landed a double with a course and distance success on his latest start. A further 7lb rise makes this tougher but he beat Picansort, Ohsosecret and Zipedeedodah easily enough last time. Last month's winner Snow King failed to cope with a rise in the weights over 6f here during the week while Ask The Guru and Billy Red are both capable on their day but it's hard to predict when that will be.
