        Verdict

        A return to chasing can’t be far away for Templepark, even though he has been thriving here over the smaller obstacles. He carries a double penalty in this and, combined with an easing of the ground, could be vulnerable today. CALUM GILHOOLEY made a promising start over timber when second at Southwell. The third went close at Fontwell earlier this week and Graeme McPherson’s charge gets the nod in this. Floating Rock placed at Taunton and Doncaster last season but lacks a recent run.
