Verdict

The in-form INDIAN TEMPLE needs to be at his best to fend off the attentions of Value AT Risk as he's 6lb worse off at the weights and runs over a longer trip than the last time they met. However, his old rival has been under the knife for wind surgery since they met at Aintree and, in the absence of a reliable betting guide, the top weight gets the nod to uphold the placings on the bare form in the book. (The betting market will be informative, however, and Value At Risk should be monitored closely.) Wolfcatcher was too good for Majestic Moll and can again finish ahead of that rival to be the best of the rest this time.
