Verdict

Temple High is a half-sister to winning hurdler Midnight Tour and goes hurdling after just one run in a bumper but this should go to JUST A THOUGHT if the cheekpieces have the desired effect. She was unlucky not to win the season before last and has returned to action this term with two solid efforts earning her a handicap rating of 125. A Perfect Gift made mistakes at Uttoxeter in November but that will have taught her plenty and she’s had wind surgery since.
