In depth
Verdict
BLAZING TEMPO is bred to jump fences so her bumper and hurdles victories have been a bonus and she can make a winning start over the bigger obstacles. Brave Betsy has generally competed at a high level over fences though she was undoubtedly disappointing in a similar race to this at Sligo last time and is held by Ciaras Lady and Young Milly on that run. Dual winning point-to-pointer Clever Creation was in the process of running a big race on her chasing debut at Fairyhouse when she fell at the second last when there with every chance. She can get competitive as could Karinga Queen at her best though further rain would aid her chances. Star Wood could prove the main threat on her chasing bow as she has run well against tough opposition on her two recent starts over timber and has won a total of six races in her career to date.
