FormscanBy Mark Nunan - This is take two of the Grade 3 Kilbegnet Novice Chase at Roscommon just over a fortnight ago and EMBITTERED gets the vote to come out on top on this occasion. The experienced Fame And Glory gelding, who got off the mark over fences at Killarney in August, went down by a neck to Exit Poll after a good tussle on the run-in and he can avenge that defeat on 7lb better terms. Exit Poll was very determined in victory and has really come good over fences this year with three wins to his name. The extra couple of furlongs will be no harm to his chance and he’s likely to put up stern resistance. Bold Enough was well held in third at Roscommon having won twice over fences earlier in the summer. He’s tried in a first-time tongue-tie but it’s hard to see him turning around the form with the front pair.
