Verdict
EASYWORK and Embittered are both owned by Gigginstown but in different yards. The former was an outstanding young hurdler last season with his second to his brilliant stable companion Envoi Allen in the Ballymore at Cheltenham the highlight and though he will probably need further than this over fences looks the one to beat. Embittered led at the last in the County Hurdle before run out of it and looks certain to do well over the bigger obstacles while Mark Walsh rides Le Musigny for J P McManus and his mount has vital experience over fences. The owner also has smart hurdler Top Moon engaged and he's one to note on his chasing bow in what should be a very informative event.
