Temlett can step up in grade in style

THE progressive Temlett can make a successful graduation to Listed company in the Jockey Club Of Turkey Challenge Stakes at Leopardstown tonight.

He has come a long way since winning a moderate maiden at Killarney and holds real prospects now of completing a four-timer.

The three-year-old followed Killarney by landing a Leopardstown handicap and then he batttled on in fine style to beat Song Of Hiawatha in the Ulster Derby over an extended mile and a half at Down Royal.

Willie Mullins’ charge may well improve again for tackling a mile and six for the first time and is fancied to prove too strong for Reform Act.

The Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Silver Flash Stakes may go to another very much on an upward curve, Kevin Prendergast’s Rainbow Crossing.

She ran a cracker in a hot Curragh maiden and made no mistake subsequently with an emphatic success at Gowran Park.

There are some interesting newcomers in the Torquay Maiden, but once-raced Curtain Call could well prove hard to beat.

He certainly caught the eye when sixth to Lisvale at the Curragh, a contest in which Rainbow Crossing finished third.

Ruby Walsh has possibilities of enjoying a mixed double, on what looks a very difficult programme at Killarney this evening.

The versatile Davenport Democrat, more than useful over flights and fences, can do the business for Walsh in the Kirbys’ Brogue Inn 30th Year Maiden.

He made a promising reappearance on the level at Wexford twelve days ago when fifth behind Priory Rock.

Walsh and Polar Call, who has always shaped as if chasing would be his game, are the choice in the Cellar One @ The Ross Beginners Chase.
