We're not sure Temple Lord deserves another chance as he's only managed one win so far over fences and that was against two rivals at a lower level. Gud Day made a promising start behind High Storm at Uttoxeter but is equally hard to win with and Amaury De Lusignan appears to have lost his way. Another Flutter needs more but Sporting Boy and veteran Mibleu should run their race again and can bustle up CITRUS MARK, who gets the vote to follow up his Uttoxeter victory off a 3lb higher mark.
