Bank Bonus ran a fine race over 2m4f here on Wednesday and, if taking his chance, has to be respected. However, Gordon Elliott looks to have a better chance with Tempo Mac, who has won three of his last four with his only defeat being boosted by the victory of the winner at this meeting earlier in the week. He'll make a bold bid to continue the sequence though RUPERT LAMB, who was beaten just over a length by him at Bellewstown recently, is a massive 13lb better off and with his stable's hurdlers in brilliant form this week he's taken to gain revenge and land this. Tandem hasn't had much experience and disappointed when well supported at Killarney last time but Gambling Girl is one to note in the market as she looked a very promising type in 2013 and a run on the Flat earlier this month will have put her spot-on.
