As third reserve, last week's Navan third Ripped may struggle to get a run. Tempo Mac has won over hurdles and been placed over hurdles since finishing second at Navan in July. Gordon Elliott's versatile six-year-old won't be far away and King Of Aran is certainly running well enough to get involved, though hasn't won since 2012. OUR RACHAEL was having her first start since May when a close-up fifth over hurdles here last month. She wasn't beaten far over this trip at Dundalk last winter and may now be ready to open her account. Byron Beauty was raised 10lb after winning at Tipperary last month but has gone close in both starts since, though is another 3lb higher here.
