Race preview
The starting point has to be Miss Tempo. After delivering at Naas in March, she made all to come in by nine lengths at Tipperary on Thursday evening. This would be a quick turnaround for her after that race over an extended 3m, but she won well. SKINNIDER is up in class, but there didn't appear to be any fluke about her big-priced success over a shorter trip at this track last month. She has a lovely light weight and does run this track well (close second in a bumper here on debut). Monza Man posted a much-improved effort in second over a similar trip at Thurles in March. He is a handicap debutant with brighter prospects than most. Garcon Doux is on a competitive mark with Niall Moore's claim factored in. Another handicap debutant, Kendancer, hasn't got a bad record over hurdles and was noted making late progress on the Flat in Gowran Park after more than 16 months off. Banks Boy has been off for the guts of a year, but was last seen winning in Down Royal.
