5/1

Fairly useful winner at 20f in chases. Ninth of 14 in handicap chase at Punchestown (31f, good to soft, 9/2) 51 days ago. Worth a second look on handicap debut in this sphere.

Forecasts

Level Neverending (5/4), Miss Tempo (2/1), Another Choice (4/1), My Design (5/1), Streets Of Doyen (15/2), Prince Zaltar (8/1), Macgiloney (10/1), Eco Pete (11/1), Waitnsee (16/1)

The hat-trick beckons for MISS TEMPO, who has improved this year with pretty impressive front-running displays in handicaps at Naas and Tipperary. She's gone up a total of 19 lb for that brace but, with just half-a-dozen starts over hurdles to her name, she may well have more to offer. Prince Zaltar is likely to be suited by the return to this trip and he is second choice ahead of My Design and Level Neverending.
