40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Below form sixth of 11 in bumper at Kilbeggan (19.8f, good, 6/1) 118 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Philip Fenton. Hard to fancy.

8/11

Twice-raced maiden. 9/2, second of 12 in bumper at this course (18.5f, soft). Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving S. Curling. Obvious claims starting out for top yard.

12/1

Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Rock The World and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Petuna. Dam (h109) bumper/2m hurdle winner. Notable newcomer on paper.

Upping The Anti¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

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

Where It All Began¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: A P Heskin| T: G Elliott

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.

Form: 29-2

40/1

Jeremy mare. Dam, failed to complete in points, sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 3m) Our Kaempfer.

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), Gladys Emmanuel (40/1), Florey Spud (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.
