Verdict

Embittered had Hurricane Georgie just under three lengths behind in a Punchestown Grade 3 but the latter is only four and is entitled to close the gap on 3lb better terms. However, his stable companion RIVIERE D'ETEL, another four-year-old, was the spectacular winner of a Punchestown Grade 2 last month with Embittered and Take All well beaten and, though carrying a penalty, is impossible to oppose. Dreal Deal initiated a string of six victories on the Flat and over hurdles with a victory here from a mark of 84 and was raised to 145 after landing a Punchestown Grade 2 in January. He was impeded in a Grade 1 at Aintree in April and is a very interesting debut-maker over fences.
