In depth

Verdict

BLAZING TEMPO looks the one to beat in this. Last year's Galway Plate heroine could only manage third behind this year's subsequent Plate winner Bob Lingo at Killarney last time but she can return to winning ways in this grade. Definite Class is mostly consistent but has a bit to find on today's terms with both Shabra Charity and Spring Hawk. Annie Other beat the latter over these hurdles last September however and, arriving on the back of a win over fences at Wexford in July, she's another who should be thereabouts.
