EMPIRE WALK rates just the pick of the weights on the back of an improved third in a big-field Cork handicap recently so edges the vote from Ladiam who was runner-up in this event 12 months ago and looks primed for another bold showing. Survivors Sister should benefit from this drop back in trip and can also have a say, while Lady Bluebird and Aine's Lad need factoring into this very open handicap hurdle too.
