FormscanBy Michael Graham - Henry de Bromhead has landed two of the last three renewals of this race and has prospects with UPPING THE ANTI. This Valirann gelding has to give weight away to the field after two facile successes over fences in Kilbeggan and Tipperary. He jumped notably well on both occasions. Rambranlt'jac didn't really feature in fourth in a hot novice chase at Killarney but, prior to that, he stayed on best to win a beginners' chase at the Galway Festival. He won't be lacking in stamina. Tullybeg has a victory over fences in Kilbeggan to his name. He unseated when last seen in Tramore. For Everyone was an easy winner of a beginners' chase at Tipperary in July, but was well behind Tullybeg in Kilbeggan the previous month.
