Verdict

Having progressed with each of his 3 starts in maiden hurdles at up to 2½m, EMPIRE WALK may well have more to offer now upped in trip for this handicap bow and he earns the vote. Preference for the 5-y-o is only marginal, though, as Folly Master resumes in this sphere on a potentially very handy mark (21 lb below the mark off which he went close in a Fairyhouse handicap chase last spring) and is greatly respected. Westernersunrise is third choice ahead of Lough Nigara and Nettuno Italia.

  1. EMPIRE WALK (IRE)
  2. FOLLY MASTER (IRE)
  3. WESTERNERSUNRISE (IRE)
