French import Great Tempo had a simple task at Hexham on debut but has since disappointed in the Haydock fog, although he isn't written off, a comment that can also be attached to Silverhow after his Warwick run. His stablemate TOP VILLE BEN made a good start under rules at Ludlow and should give this a fair crack now jumping for the first time. There is likely more to come from Compadre while both Dawn Missile and Viserion can build on their respective hurdling efforts to date. Sunday Central is intriguing now dropped significantly in trip. 1. Top Ville Ben 2. Great Tempo 3. Compadre
