FormscanBy Mark Nunan - EMPORIO made a winning reappearance at Tipperary last month and ran even better when a fast-finishing fourth in a premier handicap at Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend. He was a maiden winner over this trip at the Curragh last year and will be suited by stepping back up from 7f. Georgeville, overlooked by Colin Keane, has the highest rating of these and drops in class after running in Group company in recent starts. His last win came at this level over 1m2f at Leopardstown nearly a year ago. Keane is on Affogato, left on the same mark by the handicapper after a respectable run in the Group 1 Matron Stakes. Monaasib has a bit to find at the weights but his fifth in the Irish Cambridgeshire was a good effort and he bumped into a talented filly when second at Punchestown last time.
