Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Wetherby on his penultimate start, but made mistakes and did not stay when 14th, beaten 43l off 120, last time. On the same mark here, effective over 2m4f-3m3f, suited by cut, unreliable but capable.

Had every chance but was below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Effective over 2 1/2-3m and acts on soft, though below par this term.

Successful in two hurdle races at 2m 4f and 3m on soft ground. Finished 16l behind Shoeshine Boy when sixth of 13 at 15-2 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Ayr over 3m (soft) last month.

Did it easily and improved again when landing a handicap by 12l off a 9lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time. Trainer in form and off a short break; suited by 3m+ and acts on soft and good, progressive and could complete a hat-trick.

Winner of a hurdle race and four chases from 2m 4f to 3m 2f on good and soft ground. A winner at 10-3 in a chase at Sedgefield over 3m 2f (soft) on his latest outing in December last year, beating Jamesieconn by 12l. Has won 3 times this season.

At The Races Verdict

Upfordebate has won four of his last five outings and cannot be dismissed given the rate at which he is progressing. However, a 9lb hike for his most recent Sedgefield triumph coupled with a rise in class will demand more of the seven-year-old. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on PRESIDENT SCOTTIE, who didn't appear to stay an extended 4m in the Borders National before running with credit over hurdles at Ayr. Ayiko and Saint Davy are other feasible alternatives.

Expert View Verdict

A strong contest where hat trick seeker Upfordebate is likely to prove popular. He had plenty in hand last time so a further 9lb rise looks fair but he does face his toughest opponents to date by some distance. At the other end of the weights Saint Davy catches the eye after a promising return in arguably a stronger contest where his fitness just gave way late. That form took a couple of boosts over the weekend so he ought to hold every chance off 1lb lower here. It is the unexposed Irish raider AYIKO who is marginally preferred though after chasing home a consistent sort with more speed on his chase debut. He's entitled to come on for that first completed start since the spring and given his sole hurdles win came over 3m on soft ground he's open to significant improvement now upped in trip.
