Going - Heavy. Fine
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Michael Graham - The top three in the weights all won on their last starts and preference is for Henry de Bromhead's UPPING THE ANTI. He got off the mark from the front over an extended 2m3f in Clonmel when left clear after two out. Big Debates has a victory and two runner-up berths in his last three appearances over fences. When he last raced over the smaller obstacles, he scored over 2m6f at Ballinrobe in May. This trip is sharp for him but he is a player. Whiskeywealth made all to score in Clonmel after which connections commented that they had been waiting for soft ground. He should be very much at home here. Harvey's Quay also dictated throughout in Clonmel and came in well clear. That didn't appear to be the strongest race but he did what was required. Hgranca De Thaix ran very well for second at Listowel in September but that was on much better ground.
