Temple Place runs for the 38th time in his career at Hereford tomorrow. Although he has only won 5 races if you had backed him blindly throughout his career you would be well in profit. His wins have come at 20/, 12/1, 8/1, 50/1 and 7/1. Once a promising 2 year old with Michael Bell he went on to jump hurdles with Donald McCain and has now changed stables once again. He runs in the 1.40 tomorrow and while he is not on a bad mark at present he really needs a sound surface.
Black Jacari was looked upon as a Triumph Hurdle possible at the start of the season but has finished 2nd on all his 3 hurdles starts, a beaten favourite each time. He seeks to get off the mark tomorrow in the 3.40. Venetia Williams runs Stow who is making his hurdles debut. He won a handicap on the flat at Bath over 10 furlongs and was also placed a few times on the level.
