Lots with chances, but the vote goes to TEMPO CHAPTER TWO who comfortably landed a Tramore bumper last month and can follow up now reverted to this sphere. The returning Rajsalad shaped very well when runner-up at Limerick and can have a say, while Lonesome Boatman is another to consider on his comeback run.
