FormscanBy Mark Nunan - UPPING THE ANTI was a bit disappointing when sent off joint favourite for a bumper at Tipperary in March. The Valirann gelding finished sixth but had been a promising second in a point-to-point last November and the half-brother to useful jumpers Whatwillwecallher and Sizing Coal might be a different proposition back over obstacles. The Saddler Maker filly Helisone is a stablemate of the selection and is worth a market check on her debut. Bite That is a full-brother to Grade 1 winning novice hurdler Beat That and a half-brother to King George winner Might That. Pat Flynn’s charge showed much improved form when second to a 125-rated rival over 3m at Listowel and is a major contender on that form. Skol was running a decent race when falling at the last at Downpatrick and had caught the eye earlier in the year when fifth in a useful maiden hurdle at Leopardstown.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at startingWeights - 4-y-o 11st 12lbs 5-y-o and up 12st Mares allowed 7lbs
