BERING UPSUN made a winning chasing debut at Kelso in October and went up 7lb. He sprawled on landing 3 out when tackling this course and distance next time and was well beaten behind Mah Mate Bob but that wasn't his form and he can return to winning ways. Lastin' Memories finished a close second in that latter event so is an obvious threat. He was receiving 11lb from the winner and has little in hand of Jolie Crickette and Black Kettle, who were both narrowly beaten by the winner at Sedgefield earlier. Pads has been placed 13 times in 32 starts over jumps but has never won.
