Verdict
Templehills is capable but inconsistent and probably needs better ground. A drop back to 2m should suit the strong-travelling PROTEK DES FLOS, who was weakening when falling over further at Newcastle last time, and he gets the nod ahead of Le Coeur Net, who looked in the handicapper’s grip last time at Plumpton, and Destined To Shine. The latter looks the danger having finished second over track and trip off this mark five weeks ago, though Zuckerberg is having a first run in this country over fences and might be well treated. Black Pirate wasn’t disgraced on his fencing bow at Newcastle but is still short of experience.
