In depth
Verdict
TEMPLE ROAD (NAP) is now back on a winning mark and has been threatening to score at Lingfield. He has the beating of Costa Filey on earlier running and Welease Bwian on collateral form. Pour La Victoire won over 7f in October with Bookmaker behind but has been well beaten off higher marks since while Misstemper's earlier win came on the Fibresand at Southwell. Archibald Thorburn has dropped down the weights and may figure.
