Verdict
TEMPLEPARK always looked the sort to improve considerably when sent chasing and confirmed that belief with a gritty success on his second start over fences last time. It is surprising to see him down in trip around this sharp track which does temper confidence but he's still taken to prevail. Felix Mendelssohn has taken well to fences and has every chance in receipt of weight all round whilst the maiden, Finley's Eyes, is impossible to ignore on chasing debut as he represents the Skeltons. Regulation did well to win on chasing debut but this is tougher and Cyrius Moriviere has plenty of experience but is another who needs to improve on available evidence to date.
