Templepark is a more-than-useful chaser who has placed twice over hurdles. He’s had a run so will be fancied to land this but may not have the scope of winning pointer THE GREATER GOOD, who was too keen when favourite for a Southwell bumper at the start of the month and will be much happier facing a set of obstacles over a distance of note. Punkawallah has shown promise over hurdles and won on the Flat so looks best of the rest.
