Willie Mullins complicates matters by saddling Blazing Tempo, who has won Grade 3's at Clonmel and Punchestown on her two starts over fences, and the classy MORNING SUPREME, who beat her stablemate in a Listed contest over timber in March but hasn't been so exposed over fences. The latter was eight lengths behind For Bill over timber at Fairyhouse in April but Blazing Tempo has the beating of For Bill on their run over fences at Clonmel and Back Of The Pack on later Punchestown running. Morning Supreme looks the most likely to reach the top over fences and she gets the vote to beat her stable companion. Gentle Alice will need to step up from her easy success at Limerick but should be capable of doing so though this is much tougher.
