Verdict
EMBITTERED hasn't quite fulfilled expectations after a close second to Andy Dufresne in a Navan Grade 3 but he's performed at a much higher level so looks the one to beat. He didn't finish far in front of Fusain when runner-up at Wexford and the latter looks best of Henry De Bromhead's pair. Poseidon was well beaten in that Wexford contest but ran much better when runner-up at Tipperary last time when Santana Plessis unseated his rider. The latter also improved at Roscommon next time.
