Upping The Anti¹⁸

9/2

Promising individual. Third of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16f, heavy, 6/1) 18 days ago. Open to further improvement back up in trip, but his stablemate makes more appeal.

Form: 26-53

7/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1, second of 9 in bumper at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 17 days ago. Should take to hurdling and step back up in trip will suit, so he's a definite player.

Forecasts

More Than A Memory (8/11), Where It All Began (7/2), Upping The Anti (9/2), Siberian Prince (12/1), Soloman Lane (12/1), Florey Spud (40/1), Gladys Emmanuel (40/1), Whatsstoppingyou (50/1), Oneida (150/1), Sharavogue (250/1)

MORE THAN A MEMORY easily saw off the remainder when runner-up to Dysart Dynamo when last seen 7 months ago and, having joined Henry de Bromhead since, he seems the obvious answer to an interesting maiden hurdle. Fellow hurdling debutant Where It All Began should provide formidable opposition and the selection's stablemate Upping The Anti is the pick of those with experience in this sphere.
