Verdict

This looks open but TEMPLEPARK certainly houses room for further progression over fences after just three starts over the larger obstacles. He'll be far better suited to this extra half mile and a mark of 116 looks fair. He has struck up a good rapport with Max Kendrick and is just preferred to Court Duty. The latter seems to go particularly well for Paddy Brennan and a repeat of recent runs would see him play a prominent role once again over what appears his ideal trip. Malangen is 3lb out of the weights but still receives plenty of poundage from rivals on this chasing debut whilst Risk And Roll cannot be ruled out despite conceding weight all round.
