In depth
Verdict
These are a pretty modest bunch and it doesn't need a lot of imagination to see TEMPEST MISSILE finding the necessary improvement to score on her second attempt. Willie Mullins' Presenting mare wasn't given a hard time on her debut at Punchestown and will have learned plenty. Itchmyei'Mscratch is making a belated debut but has to be worth considering with Nina Carberry doing the steering for Gordon Elliott. Deadly Catch showed some promise last season, as did Intheolddays, while High In The Clouds won a point-to-point at Stradbally four weeks ago.
