Upmanship is different class

NATIVE UPMANSHIP is the fancy to land his third Kinloch Brae ’Chase in-a-row at Thurles today, assuming the meeting passes a 7 a.m inspection.

Second in two Champion ’Chases at Cheltenham, the selection looks different class. despite being an 11-year-old.

He didn’t exactly set the world alight on his seasonal debut in the Durkan ’Chase at Punchestown in December, only managing a well beaten fifth of seven behind Beef Or Salmon. However, Arthur Moore’s gelding is likely to strip a lot fitter on this occasion and two and a half miles round here has always been ideal for him in the past.
