Verdict
BERING UPSUN could be nicely treated back over hurdles having shown indifferent form over fences last season. He hasn’t raced since January but Brian Hughes is in the saddle and this won’t take much winning. Lastofthecosmics won in this grade at Perth before failing to cope with a 5lb rise in better company at Sedgefield. Diamond Rock has been chasing and Achill Road Boy needs further but Arctic Road could figure if fully wound-up.
