A case can be made for the vast majority of this field but TEMPLEROSS' form behind Modus reads well in the context of this race and he gives the impression there's more to come. Jamie Bargary's 3lb claim should help further but if he's too short a price, there may be value in the price of Divine Spear who's trainer won this last year. Air Horse One is another who is on an upward curve and seems to be improving at some rate recently. 1. Templeross 2. Air Horse One 3. Divine Spear
