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.
