Formscan By Tom Weekes - Well-bred EMPIRE WALK had shown ordinary form prior to an encouraging run last month. Out of an unraced half-sister to Grand National winner Many Clouds and Grade 1-winner The Tullow Tank, the selection was beaten eight lengths by the winner in an ordinary maiden at Naas but shaped with promise and should be able to score from today’s 99 rating. Folly Master has a higher chase rating and is well suited by a test of stamina. He had a pipe-opener in a November point-to-point and should compete despite carrying top weight. Westernersunrise had a nice reappearance at Limerick while Dalmatic is 6lb higher than when scoring at that course recently. Sock It To Me is unexposed.
