Verdict

All five protagonists have questions marks against them to some degree, including TEMPLEHILLS who jumped awkwardly at Warwick last time. For all that, he'd shaped nicely after a break at Chepstow the time before and, if he can return to anything like the form he showed to win here and at Warwick last season, his current mark is there to be exploited. Princeton Royale, a runner-up over C&D last time out, could be the one to profit if the selection fluffs his lines with Crosspark also a danger on best form.
