Blazing can up tempo in National

IT’S terrific to be back in full flow now and I’m very much looking forward to riding Blazing Tempo in the Kerry National at Listowel today.

Regular readers of this column will be aware I was particularly sweet on her chances in the Galway Plate and she obliged, under a fine ride by Paul Townend.

She had a lot going for her then, ground, trip and a grand weight. This test, however, is an entirely different ball game.
