Blue Empyrean was fancied for a similar race over course and distance back in August but was only fourth of the seven runners and hasn’t been seen since. Gordon Elliott also runs Gigginstown’s Polymath but he needs to bounce back from a poor run here last time. HAROLD PETO steps up in distance but was staying on when only beaten half-a-length over 2m4f at Killarney last month and can go one better today. Bumper winner Major Destination may have found a run at Punchestown a week later coming too soon, though he has something to find with Immortal Bridge on that run. Limerick third Mistheatre may have stamina limitations.
