I know I may well be going over ground thats already been covered in Ryanair topics but I think Blazing Tempo deserves a bit of a closer look. Firstly its been taken out of the Queen Mother, but left in the Ryaniar. To me that says Mullins will be sending her over for the festival. Secondly the price at the moment does not make much sense to me. 38's compared to Noble Prince being around 7's. Last time out Tempo did him nicely. Third, could Ruby ride? I know Kauto Stone is a likely runner, but to me a very unlikely winner. The Phil Neville of racing, living off his brothers name.

Any thoughts? Im sure there are a couple of negative points ive missed.

"she's an iron mare and has been on the go since Galway and been doing it in all sorts of ground. She'll get an entry for the Ryanair Chase but I'm not sure if she's good enough". W P Mullins

Not a def runner,also only run outside Ireland was in last years Jewson beaten 15 lengths by noble prince.
She has def.improved and showed last year in galway plate that handles better ground,price indicates unlikely runner tho imo.

lf Willie Mullins don't think she's good enough, that's good enough for me. That comment doesn't do much for the chances of Noble Prince but he's better on better ground though. l agree with the OP comments about Kauto Stone, l'm very worried about his tendency to jump right, he did it regularly in France on left handed tracks, and so far he's only ran on right handed tracks for Nicholls.

^ Interesting re: Kauto Stone. I didn't know that but it is a big concern for sure.

Have actually done a trade on Blazing Tempo for a few pennies as the prices made it silly not to but I suspect she probably doesn't run, and also, that Mullins is right about her. Interesting though, as her form and progression means she shouldn't be a 33/1 shot.
