        Verdict

        Temple Man was a well-beaten second at Market Rasen last time having finished closer on his earlier debut but still has stronger form than the likes of River Icon, Harry Hussar and Blue Bullet. The latter trio are all likely improvers but a newcomer may prove good enough in this. Blakolive is a half-sister to winning hurdler and chaser Havana Dancer and could figure but BOAGRIUS has won a point-to-point and the brother to a bumper and hurdles winner is taken to make a bold bid on his debut under Rules.
