TEMPESTATEFLORESCO was sent to Listowel for the Kerry National last month but was soon behind and pulled up. He won a Listed chase at Uttoxeter before that, however, and has a first and a second to his name over hurdles.Though better over further, he may stay on too strongly for Man Look, who didn’t appear too get home over a similar trip last time at Kelso. Shadow's Boy has been placed twice at Newton Abbot recently but never threatened on either occasion and points winner Asking Questions looks a better long-term prospect.
