Form & Verdict
2m maiden hurdle winner at this venue in June 2022; placed in two of her five low-level handicap chase attempts; has shown her best form at this track, but was a remote sixth over 2m here seven weeks ago; inconsistent, and faces a tough task at these weights.

Off the mark over fences on her penultimate start and creditable sixth back in this sphere when last seen; suspicion she'll need this though and probably needs a bit further; off 202 days.

Better hurdler than a chaser, and her last three runs over fences do nothing to dispute that; pulled up at Roscommon on her return.

Form & Verdict
Point winner and fair 119-rated hurdler who stays well; won back-to-back handicaps last March/May after a long absence; has taken a while to find her form this season; a good second at Navan last month implies she will be hard to beat if jumping adequately on her chase debut.

Verdict

This is a good opportunity for MISS TEMPO to make a winning chase debut. She was the best of these over hurdles and won a point. She is likely to be given most to do by Something Abouther, a bumper and hurdles winner who dislodged her rider on her chase debut. [Alan Sweetman]
