FormscanBy Michael Graham - There ought to be a race or two in JUMP THE SHARK. Gavin Cromwell's charge has shown definite ability in a pair of handicap hurdles in February when a never-nearer fourth at Naas and then a keeping-on third in a massive field over a similar trip in Fairyhouse. The runner-up at Fairyhouse has since got off the mark. Miss Tempo is the dark horse returning from an absence of almost 15 months. Her form certainly gives her claims and the market should be informative. Magic Conqueror has place claims after a fourth place at Clonmel last month. Killinure Lass held on to win by a head over further at Thurles on Saturday but, afterwards, connections said it would be unlikely she would turn out again here. Royal Rhythm was game off the front in Clonmel on Tuesday. That was on very deep ground, so he would be considered unlikely to turn out again two days later.
