Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained EASYWORK can continue his promising progression here following a bumper win at Down Royal and a comfortable victory on hurdling debut in a Gowran Park maiden over 2m last month. The Network gelding can win at the expense of the Willie Mullins-trained/J P McManus-owned Fairyhouse winner, Unexpected who won on return to action last month following a two-year absence. Paul Nolan's Discorama in first-time blinkers looks next best.
