A strong-looking 3-y-o handicap with the vote in favour of Jessica Harrington's NATIONAL EMBLEM. He was a cosy winner on his second start in maidens last summer, and that form has been boosted subsequently, so he looks sure to progress further now his sights are set on handicaps. Broadhurst, on the back of his Dundalk success 6 weeks ago, Mere Accountant and Kalikapour head up the dangers.
