... while shorter trip will suit Temple Lord!
He's entitled to go close but he ran just a week ago when a late mistake could have left its mark. That being the case, he may struggle to make the most of the easier chance and thus it may be worth looking elsewhere.
The Jonjo O'Neill-trained Temple Lord has been well beaten on his only two previous tries in handicaps but he's still lightly raced in these isles and he looked potentially smart when winning a beginners' chase at Ffos Las back in November.
