FormscanBy Mark Nunan - EMPORIO won over an extended 7f at Tipperary on his reappearance in August and had Cosmic Vega behind when runner-up in a Listed race over this trip at Leopardstown. He handles soft ground well and hasn’t had an arduous campaign. Current Option is a high-class performer at 7f and won the premier handicap over that trip at the Galway festival for the third year running this summer. He was a neck in front of Emporio on these terms when third in another valuable contest at Leopardstown before finishing runner-up in a Group 3 at Tipperary. This stiff mile will stretch his stamina to the limit. Helvic Dream beat Broome on heavy ground in last year's Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh but things haven’t worked out for him this term. The trip is short of his best but it’s a big drop in class for the Group 1 winner who may be fitter for his run at Ascot last month.
