Ed Walker is hopeful Came From The Dark can bounce back to form in this Saturday's Group Two Temple Stakes at Haydock Park.
The six-year-old improved rapidly last season winning a handicap at Newbury before finishing second in the Group Three Betfair Palace House Stakes at Newmarket and winning the Group Three Coral Charge at Sandown Park in July. But the gelded son of Dark Angel missed the rest of the campaign with injury.
He made his return to action back at Newmarket last month, but was down the field in the field in 10th in the Palace House Stakes behind the reopposing Khaadem. But trainer Walker believes he can step up markedly on that first run of the season back at the Merseyside track where he’s won at three times in the past.
