As the numbers suggest, this is ultra-competitive and cases can be made for several. The vote goes to MISS TEMPO, who failed to meet expectations on the softest ground she's encountered so far at Limerick last month, but with Rachael Blackmore back on board and dropped back in trip, she can notch a second career success. Banks Boy, Stockdale and Askann are just a trio of possible dangers.
