    Verdict

    TEMPLE ROAD won over track and trip for the fourth time at the end of last year and has gone close in both subsequent starts. His latest second to Lady Nayef gives him the beating of Noah Amor, You're Cool and Powerful Wind on collateral form. Kempton winner Fly True never threatened last time and Mambo Spirit was well beaten last month having won over 6f at Chelmsford before that. But Archie Stevens is looking to take advantage of last year’s slide down the weights and Elusivity won off a higher mark last year.
