Native back on familiar ground.

Kingsgate Native made a spectacular return to form as he regained the Betfred Temple Stakes at Haydock.
On a long losing run since this very event three years ago, the Robert Cowell-trained runner was on the stands side along with the 11-10 favourite Sole Power, while last year's Middle Park hero and eventual third Reckless Abandon was in the far group.
While Sole Power began to weaken, Shane Kelly was galvanising Kingsgate Native and he passed Reckless Abandon just before the post, finishing a neck in front. Swiss Spirit, who was bumped at the start, ran a mighty race from the rear to snatch second.
