With only the one National Hunt card today I am forced over to the all-weather where I am hopeful of a big run from the Robert Stephens trained Knight Templar, who travels to Kempton from his Monmouthshire stable, racking up plenty of miles in the process.
If all eight runners stand their ground he looks potential each way material (price dependent) and I will now tell you why.
We haven’t seen him on the Flat since finishing third at Newcastle off 2lb higher in November 2024, but he has been kept busy over hurdles since with a win at Kempton and some decent efforts since.
He won’t be lacking race fitness after a fifth over hurdles at Chepstow in late December, and is potentially well-handicapped off this mark.
