TEMPLEPARK finished runner-up yet again over fences at Warwick on his debut for a new yard. But the winner has gone in again and this shorter trip will suit. Majestic Touch finished closer over a shorter distance here on only his second outing over fences and can figure but Kilcara is 5lb higher than when scoring at Warwick back in May. Nativegetaway placed at Fontwell on his chasing bow while both Soldier Of Love and Good Man Jim are worth noting making their chasing debuts with the former winning over timber at Taunton when last in action.
