Verdict

There's an air of unfinished business around TEMPLE in handicaps and with James Owen likely to bring out the best in him, he looks a very appealing candidate in first-time headgear. This is a pretty deep contest, though, with Be Patient and Parisian Scholar likely to be bang there.

8	Wootton Bassett colt who reached 575,000 gns as a yearling. Restricted to just 5 starts but promise in that time at up to this trip (1¼ lengths third to Parisian Scholar at Thirsk) and having transferred to James Owen, he looks very interesting with cheekpieces fitted (has also been gelded). 1st Pick 8 Temple Jockey: Kevin Stott Trainer: James Owen J: Kevin Stott T: James Owen	100	-	-	-	24%	Scratched

2	Picked up where he left off last season when winning on handicap debut at Doncaster in July with plenty in hand. Has run creditably on all 3 starts since, shaping as though return to this trip would help when fifth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (1¼m). Big player eased slightly in class. 2nd Pick 2 Be Patient Jockey: Oisin James Orr Trainer: Edward Bethell J: Oisin James Orr T: Edward Bethell	99	-	-	-	39%

4	Completed a double in similar company at Newmarket in July. Trio of placed efforts confirm he remains in excellent order so no reason why he won't give it another good go. 3rd Pick 4 Parisian Scholar Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: Charlie Johnston J: Jason Hart T: Charlie Johnston	97	-	-	-	29%
