Dance Emperor recorded last month’s double over shorter trips and Lady Georgie also steps up in distance having won at Sligo on her penultimate start. Malbas has been hurdling but is 10lb higher than when scoring on the Flat at Tipperary in June and Wajaaha looks more favourably treated. Uncharted can figure if lasting home but BAMBOO BAY has plenty of scope handicapping for the first time with a tongue-tie applied and may prove the one to side with.
