FormscanBy Tom Weekes - TEMPO CHAPTER TWO has been well beaten in two recent hurdles but was previously quite capable. Formerly trained by Willie Mullins, he showed useful form last year and while well held twice at Naas in February, is race-fit, drops markedly in grade and is top-rated. Wee Charlie was set for second position when falling in a recent chase. Suited by testing conditions and this distance, he was held by winner Hurricane Cliff when falling at Limerick but had also run well previously at Tramore in November. Another Ocana was himself in contention in that Limerick race when badly hampered at the second-last. He failed to recover sufficiently – finishing third, but was nonetheless behind Wee Charlie at that second-last fence and is 5lb worse off today.
